Description

Updated with USB3 connectivity and other improvements, the BladeCam2™ laser beam profiler offers an enhanced BladeCam™ beam profiling experience. With pixel size to 3.2 µm, the high resolution and highly compact BladeCam2™ beam profilers have a thickness of only 0.50” (12.84 mm) for insertion into tight optical trains and OEM applications.
       
The BladeCam2™ is paired with DataRay’s full featured, highly customizable, user-centric software which has no license fees, unlimited installations, and free software updates. It is perfect for applications including CW laser profiling, field servicing of laser systems, optical assembly, instrument alignment, beam wander and logging, R&D, OEM integration, quality control, and M2 measurement with available M2DU stage.
