Imaging of Welding in EV Batteries
Oxford Lasers’ FireBIRD and FireFLY laser illumination systems cut through the brightness to enable detailed imaging of bright events such as welding.

- Digital Image Correlation (DIC) testing
Our short-pulsed laser illumination systems provide an advantage in high-speed imaging of these testing methods due to its ability to image small areas to clearly help capture pinpoint areas under test.
Material Testing Imaging
There are multiple advantages of using lasers as light sources in high-speed imaging. The Oxford Lasers’ illumination systems enable imaging of small areas in high detail that can be used to understand the properties and limits of materials under test. The benefit of a laser occurs by delivering powerful and ultra-fast light to high-speed cameras with restricted apertures required to image smaller areas to gain greater depth of field. Another advantage of laser light source is to enable imaging of reactive or explosive materials under test such as titanium. Lasers can also be an advantage when imaging in temperature-sensitive environments such as at temperature or cryogenic testing as the ultra-fast laser light will emit minimal heat to reduce impact on the testing environment.
