Measure Your Beam As Never Before:

Ultracal: Essential, or no big deal?

If you want accurate beam measurements, you want Ultracal.

What is Ultracal?

Our patented, baseline correction algorithm helped establish the ISO 11146-3 standard for beam measurement accuracy. The problemswith cameras used in beam profile measurements are: a) baseline, or zero, of the cameras drift with time temperature, and b) includerandom noise. Ultracal is the only beam profiler algorithm that sets the baseline to “zero”, and, in the center of the noise. (Competitiveproducts use other less sophisticated algorithms that perform a baseline subtraction, but truncate the noise below the “zero” of thebaseline. This leaves only a “positive” component, which adds a net value to all beam measurements).

Try the following on any other beam profiler product to see the inherent error if you don’t use Ultracal.

Measure a beam with full intensity on the profiler camera.

Insert a ND2 filter (100X attenuation) into the beam and measure it again.

Compare the results.

The Standard Deviation below is about 3%, which is phenomenal compared to the 100% or more of any beam profiler without Ultracal.


Beam at full intensity, Width 225um, Std Dev 0.06um	Beam attenuated 100X (displayed here in 2D at 16X magnitude zoom), Width 231um, Std Dev 7um

Adding the use of Automatic Aperture improves the accuracy to 1%. (The conditions of this measurement is a camera with a 50dB SNR.)

You normally don’t make measurements at such a low intensity. But occasionally you may have a drop in intensity of your beam and don’t want to have to adjust the attenuation. Or, you may occasionally have a very small beam of only a few tens of pixels. In both these cases, Ultracal becomes essential in obtaining accurate measurements.

Beam Measurements and Statistics

BeamGage allows you to configure as many measurements as needed to support your work, and comes standard with over 55 separatemeasurement choices. To distinguish between calculations that are based on ISO standards and those that are not, a graphical ISO logo isdisplayed next to appropriate measurements. You can also choose to perform statistical calculations on any parameter in the list.


Small sample of possible measurements out of a list of 55	Sample of calculation results with statistics applied

And if BeamGage-Standard does not have the measurement you need the -Enterprise version permits the user to add-in custom calculations. User defined computations are treated just as the standard calculations. These custom results are displayed on the monitor, logged with results, and included on hard copy print-outs as if they were included in the original application.

Multiple Charting Options

You can create strip charts for stability observations on practically any of the calculations options available. (See next page for sample listing). Charts enable tracking of short or long term stability of your laser.

Pass / Fail with Password Protection for Production Testing

BeamGage allows the user to configure the displayed calculations; set-up the screen layout and password protect the configuration from any changes. This permits secure product testing as well as data collection for Statistical Process Control (SPC), all while assuring the validity of the data.

Failures (or successes) can be the impetus for additional actions including a TTL output signal or PC beep and the termination of further data acquisition.

Signal Conditioning for Enhanced Accuracy	Spiricon’s patented Ultracal enables more accurate beam measurement and display. Ultracal takes a multi- frame average of the baseline offset of each individual pixel to obtain a baseline accurate to approximately 1/8 of a digital count. This baseline offset is subtracted from each frame, pixel by pixel, to obtain a baseline correction accurate to 1/8 digital count. Spiricon’s Ultracal method retains numbers
	Less than zero that result from noise when the baseline is subtracted. Retaining fractional and negative numbers in the processed signal can increase the beam width measurement accuracy by up to 10X over conventional baseline subtraction and clip level methods. Spiricon’s Ultracal conforms to the best method described in ISO 11146-3:2004.
Frame Averaging	Up to 256 frames can be averaged for a signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, improvement of up to 16X (Noise is averaged up to 1/256th [8 fractional bits]). Data is processed and stored in a 32bit format.
Frame Summing	Up to 256 frames can be summed to pull very weak signals out of the noise.
	Due to the precise nature of Ultracal baseline setting, (i.e., a retention of both positive and negative noise components) summing of frames can be performed without generating a large offset in the baseline.
Convolution (Adjacent Pixel Averaging)	Choice of 5 convolution algorithms for spatial filtering for both display and calculations. Spatial filtering improves the visual S/N.
Beam Maker®	Beam Maker is a new feature that allows the user to model both Laguerre-Gaussian and Hermite-Gaussian laser beams in various modal configurations. With these models you have verification and validation tools that allows not only OSI but also the end user to verify BeamGage’s basic beam width measurement algorithms. It can also be used to model laser beams with special input conditions such as signal-to-noise, background offset, and bits per pixel resolution. This allows the user to better understand the accuracy of measurements made under both optimum and adverse conditions. This tool provides the user with a method to validate algorithms against current ISO standards and methods. It can also be used to validate third party algorithms by making the output data available for use in third party applications.

Trigger, Capture and Synchronization Methods	Capture methods are features related to the application while Synchronization methods relate more to the abilities of the specific camera. NOTE: Frame capture rates are determined by many factors and are not guarenteed for any specific operating configuration.
	Trigger modes
	CW - captures continuously, see Capture Options below
	Trigger-In from laser: Trigger pulses supplied to the camera
	Strobe-Out to laser: Strobe pulses output from the camera
	Video Trigger: Frame captured and displayed only when the camera sees a signal greater than a user set level
	Capture options
	Capture options are redefined and are approached in a different manner than older products. The items listed below will allow for all of the previous methods but with more flexability than ever before.
	Results Priority: Results priority will slow the capture rate to be in sync with the computational results and display updates
	Frame Priority: Frame priority will slow results and display updating to insure that frames are collected and stored in the frame buffer as fast as possible (replaces block mode)
	Stop After: Will collect a set number of frames and then stop (replaces Single-Shot mode)
	Periodic: Will collect frame at a programmed periodic rate.
	Periodic Burst: Will collect frames in a Burst at programmed periodic rates
	Post processing is still available but is done via a different mechanism and is limited to only data file sources.

Signal Conditioning for Enhanced Accuracy	Spiricon’s patented Ultracal enables more accurate beam measurement and display. Ultracal takes a multi- frame average of the baseline offset of each individual pixel to obtain a baseline accurate to approximately 1/8 of a digital count. This baseline offset is subtracted from each frame, pixel by pixel, to obtain a baseline correction accurate to 1/8 digital count. Spiricon’s Ultracal method retains numbers
	Less than zero that result from noise when the baseline is subtracted. Retaining fractional and negative numbers in the processed signal can increase the beam width measurement accuracy by up to 10X over conventional baseline subtraction and clip level methods. Spiricon’s Ultracal conforms to the best method described in ISO 11146-3:2004.
Frame Averaging	Up to 256 frames can be averaged for a signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, improvement of up to 16X (Noise is averaged up to 1/256th [8 fractional bits]). Data is processed and stored in a 32bit format.
Frame Summing	Up to 256 frames can be summed to pull very weak signals out of the noise.
	Due to the precise nature of Ultracal baseline setting, (i.e., a retention of both positive and negative noise components) summing of frames can be performed without generating a large offset in the baseline.
Convolution (Adjacent Pixel Averaging)	Choice of 5 convolution algorithms for spatial filtering for both display and calculations. Spatial filtering improves the visual S/N.
Beam Maker®	Beam Maker is a new feature that allows the user to model both Laguerre-Gaussian and Hermite-Gaussian laser beams in various modal configurations. With these models you have verification and validation tools that allows not only OSI but also the end user to verify BeamGage’s basic beam width measurement algorithms. It can also be used to model laser beams with special input conditions such as signal-to-noise, background offset, and bits per pixel resolution. This allows the user to better understand the accuracy of measurements made under both optimum and adverse conditions. This tool provides the user with a method to validate algorithms against current ISO standards and methods. It can also be used to validate third party algorithms by making the output data available for use in third party applications.
