November 12, 2008 - Designed for material processing applications such as drilling, ablating, and marking, YAG Focal Spot Analyzer attenuates 1,064 nm YAG power lasers with short, compact path lengths of 50-200 mm, and supports powers levels from less than 1 to 400 W. With adjustable attenuation up to 1 x 10-10, system measures focal spot characteristics, as well as how focal distance shifts with power. Modular C-mount unit can be added to any CCD camera.

Ophir-Spiricon Announces Next Generation Focal Spot Analyzer; Measures High Power YAG Laser Focus Spot Characteristics as Small as 25µm.

October 27, 2008 - Logan, UT - Ophir-Spiricon, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today announced the YAG Focal Spot Analyzer, the next generation of the industry's only real-time system for measuring focus spot characteristics of high power lasers. The Focal Spot Analyzer is a compact, laser beam sampler/attenuator for camera-based laser beam profiling systems. Designed for material processing applications - such as drilling, ablating, and marking - the Focal Spot Analyzer attenuates high power, 1064nm YAG lasers with short, compact path lengths, from 50 to 200mm.

The Focal Spot Analyzer supports powers levels from <1 to 400W and focal spot sizes as small as 25µm. Adjustable attenuation up to 1 x 10-10 maximizes the system's dynamic range. The system measures focal spot characteristics as well as how focal distance shifts with power. A modular, C-mount unit, the Focal Spot Analyzer can easily be added to virtually any CCD camera.

"The Focal Spot Analyzer attenuates high power laser beams so that when the focused spot reaches the focal plane of the camera, it is sufficiently attenuated to image even the most energetic light sources," stated Gary Wagner, President, Ophir-Spiricon, Inc. "Ophir-Spiricon's patented process provides higher beam width measurement accuracy by determining the true background and preserving both positive and negative signals."

Availability

YAG Focal Spot Analyzer is available immediately.
