Powerful, yet easy to use laser beam profiler features a large area, 1.3 megapixel windowless CMOS sensor providing an easy target for the laser beam
Pro-Lite Technology has released the LaserCam HR, the first in a new series of high performance laser beam profilers from Coherent.
Coupling the speed and ease of use of the USB2.0 PC interface with the popular BeamView analyser PC beam analysis software, the new LaserCam HR is a powerful, yet easy to use laser beam profiler.
LaserCam HR features a large area, windowless CMOS sensor providing an easy target for the laser beam.
The 1.3 megapixel, 6.7 micron square pixels provide outstanding resolution for the analysis of smaller or focused beams.
This combination provides a very large range of measurable beam diameters from 270 microns (40 pixels) to 6mm (1/e2).
The LaserCam HR's 10-bit (1000:1) radiometric resolution easily picks up details in the spatial beam distribution that other, less sensitive profiling systems would simply miss.
A complete beam profiling system, LaserCam HR includes a copy of BeamView 4.1 laser beam analysis software.
This new release of BeamView is compatible with the USB2.0 PC serial interface bus and Windows XP.
A powerful combination, and the obvious choice for embedded or remote applications, as well as production and lab work.
Compared to older generation profilers, the USB interface on the LaserCam HR avoids the need for framegrabber cards, finally facilitating the use of convenient laptop computers for laser beam metrology.
LaserCam HR is suitable for measuring the beam diameter, divergence, focussed spot size and fit to Gaussian of almost any laser in the 300-1100nm range, both pulsed and CW.
In addition, the powerful statistics algorithms provided with BeamView permit the determination of a laser's centroid and peak locations, pointing stability, elipticity, and top hat uniformity.
With its combination of high resolution and simple plug-and-play functionality, LaserCam HR finally brings laser beam profiling into the 21st century, says Pro-Lite.
