LaserCam HR™ InGaAs Near Infrared Laser Beam Profiler
A Infrared InGaAs focal plane array profiler with USB interfaceThe Coherent LaserCam HR™ InGaAs laser beam profiler provides measurements of near infrared lasers in the 900-1700nm wavelength range. What sets the LaserCam apart is its compact size and convenient USB connection to a PC. Unlike bulky, previous generation cameras, the LaserCam's compact 50 x 50 x 68mm package means in can get into places which lesser cameras simply couldn't fit. The USB 2.0 interface is truly plug-and-play and there's no need to install dedicated interface cards in the computer. » Download LaserCam HR InGaAs Datasheet The LaserCam InGaAs CameraThe LaserCam HR head is based upon an uncooled InGaAs focal plane array detector with 320 x 256 pixels and a 1000:1 signal to noise ratio . Accuracy is assured through the use of Coherent's adaptive pixel technology (CAPT) which performs pixel by pixel offset, linearity and blemish correction. USB 2.0 connectivity assures compatibility with virtually all new computers, including laptops. The LaserCam HR InGaAs features a C-mount adaptor which allows it to be used with the full range of Coherent laser beam profiler accessories and beam attenuators. BeamView USB SoftwareLaserCam HR is controlled from Coherent's BeamView™ USB application software for PCs. BeamView is the laser beam profiling application which rival manufacturers seek to emulate. BeamView provides real-time cross-sectional as well as 2D and 3D profiles which facilitates laser system tuning and optimisation. The beam parameters reported include beam position (centroid and peak location), beam size and shape (diameter and ellipticity), far-field data (divergence, pointing and bore-sighting), mode structure (uniformity and fit to Gaussian) as well as the beam power and power density (or energy and energy density for pulsed lasers). Statistical parameters reported include the mean, maximum, minimum and standard deviation for the beam parameters and beam wander. The software accomodates datalogging, supports pass/fail type reporting and can output an alarm for beam parameters that are out of range.
The Latest Updates to BeamView™ USB Software (Version 4.4.0)BeamView-USB software version 4.4.0 now features:
Flexible ControlLabVIEW Drivers are now available for the LaserCam-HR. An extensive library of LabVIEW Virtual Instruments (VI) is supplied with the latest release of BeamView USB laser beam profiling software. This enhancement will allow direct control of virtually all BeamView functions using National Instruments’ LabVIEW software, versions 7.1 through 8.2. BeamView USB can be automated to run remotely through a LabVIEW environment by selecting any of the VI libraries. An Applications Note explaining how to configure BeamView with LabVIEW and a "Getting Started" section detailing how to get connected by using RS232 or TC/IP communication protocols is included on the installation CD. BeamView USB now has the ability to communicate either directly by RS232 or remotely through TC/IP (ethernet) protocol. For the first time, you can control the LaserCam HR from a remote location. A user-programmable trigger delay now allows users greater flexibility when synchronising the timing of the laser pulse with the frame integration of the LaserCam HR profiler. For pulsed laser applications that do not have a convenient trigger source available, or if the pulses are infrequent, the AutoTrigger pulse capture capability has been restored with the latest BeamView software release. The AutoTrigger mode captures the laser image by simply selecting a user-selectable intensity level captured from the intensity level of the LaserCam HR. The flexibility of BeamView USB has been enhanced with the ability to connect up to eight LaserCam HR cameras at the same time, to the same PC. In addition, the software incorporates a "Background Map" subtraction feature which results in a better consistency between each of the cameras connected to the computer. A Pass/Fail TTL hardware output is now available in the BeamView USB software package. By adding a second cable to the existing trigger-in connection, users can now select a high or low TTL voltage level output as a fault action associated with any of the available BeamView USB calculations.
