Features

BeamGage^® Laser Profiling Software

BeamGage^® comes in two versions: Standard and Professional. Each builds off of the next adding additional capability and flexibility as needed for adapting to almost any configuration requirement. The software performs rigorous data analyses on the same parameters, in accordance with the ISO standards, providing quantitative measurement of numerous beam spatial characteristics. Pass/Fail limit analysis for each of these parameters can be also applied.

Laser Beam Profiler Accessories

When performing beam profiling measurements on a laser, it is sometimes necessary to manipulate the beam in order to achieve a signal that is suitable to be measured. Occasionally, the beam needs to be sized correctly by either increasing it if it is too small, or increasing it if it is too large. Often times, the laser’s power needs to be reduced to a certain level to be imaged. Our laser beam profiler accessories allow you to achieve proper beam sizes and power levels so that you can achieve the most accurate measurements possible.

Designing Laser Beam with BeamMaker

BeamMaker helps engineers, technicians, and researchers understand a beam's modal content by creating a theoretically generated beam. Design your perfect beam profile in BeamMaker by specifying the mode, size, width, height, intensity, angle, and noise content - then configure your laser to run the as designed, and compare your actual beam to the theoretically derived measurements. The end result is knowledge about how much the real beam varies from the desired beam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of the SP932U camera?
Answer
CMOS sensor used in the SP932U camera has an advantage over CCD Ophir cameras due to the possibility of faster measurement speed and lack of Smearing Effect.

Why SP932U camera is the most suitable for NIR wavelengths beam profiling?
Answer
SP932U exploits a special mathematical algorithm to remove the "Blooming Effect" at 1000-1100nm.
Each camera is specially calibrated to remove the blooming and provide precise beam profiling measurement at popular NIR and Nd: YAG ranges.

I just purchased a BeamGage SP932U system and there is a menu for Blooming Correction. What is this and why should I use it?
Answer
The SP932U camera uses a CMOS imager and, because of the way CMOS imagers are made, there is the potential for blooming artifacts to become more prevalent than CCD imagers. The best way to avoid any blooming artifacts is to use a sensor that is not silicon-based, such as an InGaAs imager. But if changing to a different sensor is not possible, BeamGage provides a mathematical Blooming Correction algorithm for this camera to correct for these artifacts.
