Roughness Measurements—Let’s Take a Closer Look

Measuring surface roughness - What it takes

Surface roughness plays a critical role in the functionality and durability of precision components. When a surface is rough, it increases friction between parts, leading to more wear over time. This roughness can also reduce lubrication effectiveness, which can result in faster component degradation and reduced efficiency. Learn the tools to measure just the roughness o...

Power Spectral Density

How PSD is used to specify many types of Optics

Power Spectral Density (PSD) is a very useful concept when it comes to specifying many types of optics and has been proven to be a valuable metric in extreme application spaces such as laser fusion. This specification method can also be applied to demanding applications, high energy laser optics, particularly because it helps in understanding and managing the quality of ...
