    1 General Information 1 General Information The BP209 Series Thorlabs Dual Scanning Slit Beam Profilers are ideal for analyzing cross sectional profiles of near-Gaussian laser beams and can be operated in scanning-slit or knife- edge modes. The beam diameter is measured in accordance with the ISO 11146 standard and can be displayed using a number of industry-standard clip levels or an arbitrary clip level set by the user.
