Ophir-Spiricon Introduces CO2 Laser Beam Profiler

Ophir-Spiricon has announced its II-VI-CO2-58 Industrial Laser Beam Analyzer. The II-VI-CO2-58 is a laser beam profiling system that enables the quantitative measurement and viewing of high power CO2 beams. The system diagnoses faults in real-time, and corrects issues related to beam stability, alignment, tuning, and optimization. The analyzer is a portable device that can be used to spot check performance on a variety of laser-based machines -- in one or more facilities, or in the field. The system's 58mm clear aperture enables the user to measure large laser beams. The ability handles up to 10kW of power for high power CO2 lasers. With the ability to produce up to 48 images per second, users can view transient laser performance in real time. Other systems can take up to 10 seconds to create a single image and mask real-time transient responses.



The II-VI-CO2-58 Industrial Laser Beam Analyzer is designed to work with the industry's leading beam profiling camera, Ophir's Pyrocam III. The Pyrocam III is a solid state camera based on one of the rugged, stable, and precise IR detector arrays available. It delivers a 1000:1 linear dynamic range for high accuracy profiling. The camera offers 2D or 3D views of laser beam profiles, providing instant alerts about detrimental laser ariations. The II-VI-CO2-58 Beam Analyzer camera connects to a PC through a FireWire interface for advanced analysis capabilities. A Basic Image Viewer presents 3D isometric plots and 2D color contour plots. Prices start at $30,000 plus the Pyrocam. OEM pricing is available on request.
