M2 Beam Propagation Analyzer Receives Major Upgrades/Reduced Size
Logan, UT (July 11, 2007) - Ophir-Spiricon Inc. announces major upgrades and reduced size of their 200S Beam Propagation Analyzer. The M2-200S upgrades include: a physical size reduction of almost one-half of its predecessor, reports measurements up to 2-3X faster, and is more robust, insuring 24/7 reliability. The M2-200S maintains the company's leadership position as the only ISO compliant system for all reported measurements.
Automatic M2 - at Production Speeds
Software improvements in the M2-200S, including more efficient algorithm execution has decreased the measurement reporting time by 2-3X, making it possible to report M2 in under two minutes. All these measurements and translations, as well as incremental beam attenuation, are automatically controlled by the
M2-200S software.
Accurate
"Ophir-Spiricon has a proprietary method of using software apertures to exclude noise beyond the wings of the laser beam, reports Kenneth Ferree, VP Sales & Marketing. This contributes greatly to beam width measurement accuracy, especially when the beam is focused to a small waist and covers only a small number of pixels."
Increased Reliability
With customers wanting to deploy applications for continuous use; three shifts a day, seven days a week, increased attention in these areas and endurance testing of critical components has been a major focus in the new M2-200S.

About Ophir-Spiricon Inc.
Ophir-Spiricon Inc., the world leader in laser beam profile instruments for the past 29 years, produced the first linear pyroelectric array for laser beam diagnostics in 1978. The Pyrocam III pyroelectric matrix array camera is the industry standard for measuring CO2 and other IR and far IR lasers from 1¬m to 1000¬m. Spiricon's beam analysis algorithms revolutionized the accuracy of CCD camera measurement of visible and near IR lasers, using the patented Ultracal(TM) method of baseline setting. Other leading edge products from Spiricon measure beam focusability, wavefront phase, telecom device characteristics, and industrial laser reliability.
Ophir-Spiricon is part of the Ophir Laser Measurement Group headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel. The Ophir Laser Measurement Group manufactures, calibrates and sells a complete line of instruments for laser power meters, laser energy meters, laser beam analyzer instrumentation, laser measurement tools and spectral analysis instruments.
