What is a LaseView camera set?

LaseView is a Laser Beam Profiler with M2 platform software, which is an inexpensive Laser Beam Profiler software that can be used intuitively.
The LaseView camera set series includes a set of optimal cameras for various conditions such as laser wavelength band, diameter, and pulse / CW.
Easily build a beam profile observation system according to the usage environment.

* This product (Laser Beam Profiler with M2 Platform Software LaseView) has 1 license per machine.

Difference between “femtosecond pulse or condensed light” and “parallel light”


Fig: Beam profile collapses with or without cover glass
The problem is the likelihood of interference.
A protective cover glass is usually attached on top of the CCD sensor.
Interference may occur between the cover glass and the surface of the CCD sensor.
In the case of “femtosecond pulse or condensed light”, interference is unlikely to occur, but in the case of “parallel light”, interference is likely to occur and it is necessary to use a CCD without a cover glass.
* NCG (Non Cover Glass) is attached to the model number of the camera set without cover glass.

Supported Cameras

In order to use LaseView (Laser Beam Profiler with M2 Platform Software) as a Laser Beam Profiler, at least one camera is required.
*A camera with trigger option is suitable for measuring pulsed light.
*A camera without a cover glass is suitable for measurement of CW and nanosecond lasers.
*CCD cameras are sensitive to wavelengths up to 1320 nm, but there are errors in beam profile measurement. For accurate measurement of long wavelengths above 1100 nm, infrared cameras are recommended.

CCD camera

Here is a list of CCD cameras that have been confirmed to work with LaseView.
We recommend the DMK 21AU04, a low-cost USB 2.0 CCD monochrome camera from Imaging Source.

CMOS camera

CMOS cameras can be purchased at a lower cost than CCD cameras.
CMOS cameras are also superior to CCD cameras in terms of response time, although their sensitivity is inferior.
