Capturing HPLDs in a single pass
To guarantee that high-power laser diodes (HPLDs) will work reliably, it is important to check that the enclosure has the correct flatness and step height levels. To do this, you should use tried-and-tested technology that captures the smallest of height differences and that gives you measurement results reliably and quickly. We are, of course, talking about the surface measurement systems from Polytec.
TopMap optical 3D surface metrology systems allow the characterization of diodes in laser arrays in a large field-of-view and areal measurement, analyzign both the “smile” surface curvature and step heights directly on semiconductors. The large field of view captures all details in one measurement, leading to convenient, comprehensive and efficient inspections of the laser diodes’ enclosure without sacrificing high resolution.
Surface profiler for diodes and electronic components

Micro Profiler
Micro.View profiler systems are optimized for measurements with sub-nanometer resolution. With focused optics and high vertical resolution they enable detailed analysis of microstructures, surface finish and material distribution where even the smallest deviations matter.

Macro Profiler
Pro.Surf inspects flatness, step height and parallelism on large parts and multi-part trays — non-contact, in seconds. No-crash telecentric optics measure even into bores, with the precision and repeatability production demands.

Metro.Lab
Metro.Lab is a compact, wide-area surface profiler. It combines high measurement performance with a small footprint—ideal for space or budget conscious applications that still require reliable 3D surface data.
Not sure which profiler fits your task? Two guides to help you decide.
Two short guides take you through the key decisions: one helps you choose the right measuring technology, the other the right measurement scale — micro or macro. And with our try-before-buy offer, you get the practical way to confirm your choice on your own parts.
