Description
With a large 25 x 25 mm active area, 4.2 Mpixels, 12.5 x 12.5 μm (effective) pixels, optical and electronic triggering of a global shutter, and an SNR of 2500:1, the TaperCamD-LCM laser beam profiler offers the largest active sensor area on a USB-port powered laser beam profiling device. By combining the high signal-to-noise ratio and global shutter of the WinCamD-LCM with a high-quality fiber optic taper, the TaperCamD-LCM beam profiler offers a very compact, easy-to-use solution for measuring a variety of large CW or pulsed lasers.
The TaperCamD-LCM beam profiler 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 and pulsed laser profiling; field servicing of laser systems; optical assembly; instrument alignment; beam wander and logging; R&D; OEM integration; and quality control.
