Description

The WinCamD-QD laser beam profiler series uses colloidal quantum dot sensors to provide high quality beam profiling for visible, SWIR, and eSWIR sources. With 15 µm pixels, a wavelength range as wide as 350-2000 nm, and a global shutter, the WinCamD-QD series offers unparalleled laser beam profiling capabilities. 
 
With a signal-to-noise ratio that exceeds 2100:1, the WinCamD-QD series is capable of ISO 11146 compliant beam measurements. The state-of-the-art colloidal quantum dot sensor features very high sensitivity with a global shutter for pulsed beam profiling.
    
The WinCamD-QD series is supported by DataRay’s full-featured, highly customizable, user-centric software which has no license fees, unlimited installations, and free software updates. 
 
The DataRay software allows you to interface with external programs, log data, conduct fully automated M2 measurements using our M2DU translation stages, and much more, all included without any additional charges. For higher power lasers, DataRay offers a range of sampling, absorbing, and reflecting attenuation options to assure your beam is adequately attenuated before profiling.
