WinCamD-IR-BB

The WinCamD-IR-BB from DataRay is suitable for measuring the spatial profile of both pulsed and continuous wave lasers in the infrared wavelength range (2-16 μm); this is made possible through the use of a microbolometer array. A shutter which is integrated into the profiler enables dynamic correction of the noise and baseline, and the profiler features non-uniformity correction (NUC).

WinCamD-QD

The WinCamD-QD-1550 from DataRay enables beam profiling of pulsed and continuous wave laser sources in the wavelength range 400 – 1700 nm. Optimised for wavelengths in the short range infrared, this beam profiler can be optioned with resolution up to 1920 x 1080 and dynamic range exceeding 2100 : 1. This is made possible though the use of colloidal quantum dot sensor technology.

TaperCamD-LCM

The TaperCamD system from DataRay is designed for the analysis of extended laser beams with a compact, high resolution 12-Bit digital CMOS camera. By combining the high signal-to-noise ratio and global shutter of the WinCamD-LCM with a high-quality fibre optic taper, the TaperCamD-LCM offers a very compact, easy-to-use solution for measuring a variety of large CW or pulsed lasers. 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 a SNR of 2500 : 1, the TaperCamD-LCM offers the largest active sensor area on a USB-port powered laser beam profiling device.

The BeamMap2 represents a radically different approach to real-time beam profiling and allows for measurements at multiple locations along the beam’s travel. The BeamMap2’s unique, patented design is most advantageous for real-time measurement of focus position, M2, beam divergence and pointing.
