Figure 9
Capture of the laser spot at the sample position using a hybrid phase plate designed to generate a 250 µm focal spot. The profiles shown at the top and to the right are 40 µm thick lineouts through the focal spot at Y = 0 and X = 0, respectively. Full width at half-maximum (FWHM) is close to 200 µm along both axes. Enclosed energy measurements on this figure show 50% of the energy inside a 180 µm diameter, 70% inside a 226 µm diameter and 80% inside a 290 µm diameter. |
