Camera-based profilers excel in capturing and evaluating beam profiles, including details like beam shape, size, intensity distribution, and divergence.
And they are particularly valuable in applications where a comprehensive understanding of the laser’s spatial properties is needed.
Let’s discuss what hardware and software you need to operate a camera-based profiler.
A camera-based beam profiler system
A camera-based beam profiler system includes a camera, beam attenuation accessories, and beam profiler software.
When it comes to hardware, MKS Ophir has the broadest range of cameras to handle wavelengths from extreme UV to long infrared, as well as the most extensive array of beam accessories for attenuating, filtering, beam splitting, magnifying, reducing and wavelength conversion. Most of the components are modular so they can be mixed and matched to solve almost any requirement.
When it comes to software, Ophir’s BeamGage profiling software comes in two versions: Standard and Professional. Each builds off the next, adding capability and flexibility to meet any needs.
BeamGage software
BeamGage performs rigorous data acquisition and analysis of laser beam size, shape, uniformity, divergence, mode content, and power distribution. Pass/fail limits can be also applied.
BeamGage software is the industry’s first beam profiling software to be newly designed, from scratch, and is based on Ophir’s patented baseline correction algorithm that helped establish the ISO standard for beam measurement accuracy.
Your data can be displayed in a many different formats, ranging from a live video to 2D topographic and 3D views. Graphical chart time displays, summary statistics, and overlays are also available.
You can even custom configure your screen with multiple views that can be saved for repeated use, and export data to a wide variety of formats.
