Pyroelectric technology is used in cameras and arrays for laser beam diagnostics of nearly all IR and UV laser wavelengths, and in high temperature thermal imaging.
Ophir’s core pyroelectric technology begins with its specially designed sensor array, which has proven to be the most rugged, stable, and precise IR detector array available. It’s these sensors that are embedded in Ophir’s Pyrocam line of cameras.
With the Pyrocam line, you get clear quantitative images displayed in 2D or 3D views. It’s the easiest way for you to instantly recognize your beam characteristics and what they tell you about your laser’s performance.
When and where can you use Pyrocam’s technology?
First, it’s an ideal measurement tool for scientific laboratory investigation of laser beams in physics, chemistry, and electronic system designs.
It’s also useful in assembly lines using CO2 and other infrared lasers. The system’s imaging instantly alerts you to detrimental laser variations and allows you to correct the problem and re-tune the laser parameters in a timely manner.
Pyrocam sensors are also used in some of the most sensitive medical applications, such as lasers for eye surgery and dermatological procedures where uniformity of the beam profile is crucial.
Pyrocams come bundled with Ophir’s BeamGage software, a state- of-the-art beam profiling system that performs rigorous data acquisition and analysis of beam size, shape, uniformity, divergence, mode content, and power distribution.
Simply connect the Pyrocam to your PC, run BeamGage software, and images are immediately displayed so you can make sure that your lasers perform as they are supposed to all the time.
