Coherent has extended the spectral coverage of its Lasercam-HR laser beam profiling cameras into the ultraviolet and infrared with the addition of two new models.
The Lasercam-HR-UV operates over the 190nm to 355nm spectral range, enabling it to record beam characteristics at the third (355nm), fourth (266nm) and fifth (213nm) harmonics of ND:Yag lasers, as well as the output of most excimer lasers.
Furthermore, the large size of the high resolution sensor (2/3in) allows many excimer laser beams to be directly measured without beam reducing optics.
The Lasercam-HR-UV also features robust sensor technology that delivers long term stability and an increase in pulse count lifetime over previously available products.
The new Lasercam-HR-Ingaas measures infrared laser beams from 900nm to 1,700nm.
This makes it compatible with eye safe military lasers, telecom sources, as well as the ND:Yag fundamental.
The Lasercam-HR-Ingaas offers both high measurement speed and a large, 14-bit dynamic range.
This makes it faster than pyroelectric-based devices, and enables visualisation of much greater beam detail than can be achieved by other competitive cameras that utilize Ingaas sensor technology.
Both new Lasercam-HR models offer the convenience of single USB 2.0 cable connection.
No interface card or other connections are required.
The new Lasercam-HRs draw their power through the USB connection, eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
These new products also utilise the same Beamview-USB 2.0 as all other Lasercam-HR models.
