The latest version of LBA is Ophir-Spiricon’s high accuracy laser beam analysis software. LBA measurement precision is based on Ultracal™, the company’s patented, baseline correction algorithm that helped establish the ISO 11146-3 standard for beam measurement accuracy. Ultracal ensures the highest accuracy and reliability in the industry by retaining negative signals essential for making correct beam width measurements and for extracting weak signals out of noise. LBA also features a Pointing Stability program that collects centroid and peak data from the LBA core system and displays it graphically.

The USB L11058 camera is designed for measuring large ultraviolet laser beams. It’s high  resolution, 4008 x 2672 pixel format allows profiling of beams up to 24 x 36 mm without requiring reduction optics. Frame rates of up to 3.1 frames per second at full resolution increase  throughput and productivity. This makes the USB L11058 ideal for use in applications that require a large field of view, fast frame rates, low noise, and high responsivity, such as high power lasers in semiconductor fabrication.

This overview of what's new for 2008 covers the latest power and energy measurement equipment offerings from Ophir-Spiricon.

Wha'ts new for 2008

The PE9-F is a pyroelectric detector that accurately and repeatedly measures laser pulse energy over an extensive range of conditions. The detector measures repetitive pulses at up to 25,000 pulses per second, the fastest in the industry, when used with the company’s Pulsar-4 Multi-Channel USB Smart Head to PC Interface. And unlike many detectors on the market, the PE9-F measures each and every pulse, not just a sample.

The BA150 is a laser beam profiling system that analyzes key laser parameters in order to maintain peak performance of precision material processing lasers. A compact, self-contained unit that fits in almost any glove box type laser system, the BA150 includes a state-of-the-art USB 2.0 silicon CCD camera and advanced beam analysis software. The system monitors all key laser beam parameters for 1064nm pulsed and CWindustrial Nd:YAG, diode, and fiber lasers up to 150W. The BA150 is an integrated system, so there is no need for beam modifying splitters, attenuators, or other components.

Ophir now presents a whole new way to measure laser power/energy with its Quasar Bluetooth wireless interface. Just plug any Ophir smart head into the battery operated Quasar and it will broadcast to any PC or laptop within 10 meters. No clutter on your workbench and no long cables to worry about. Now you have a solution for hard to measure situations such as a glove box or high power laser behind barriers.
The Quasar is also available mounted directly on the measuring head for most Ophir thermal heads.
An extended range version is available with range up to 60 meters.

The new Pulsar Smart Head to PC Interface from Ophir Optronics enables you to turn your PC or laptop into a full fledged Ophir multi-channel laser power/energy meter.

Just install the software, plug the head and power source into the interface box and the USB cable from the box to the PC USB port. Using the Pulsar, you can connect up to 4 heads to each box. The connection from there to the PC is via one USB cable. The Pulsar allows you to record pulse energies at up to 20,000 Hz for all 4 channels simultaneously. An external trigger input enables measurement of missing pulses. The application allows tiling of up to 8 heads on one screen. ActiveX Interface (Ophir FastX) meter heads is supported, so that you can control the USBI from your own software. There are also 2 channel and 1 channel versions of this device available.

IPL sources are very difficult to measure since they are optically coupled to the skin with gel. The new Ophir IPL head has a glass window to which the IPL can be optically coupled to give an accurate simulation of its intended use. It can measure IPL energies up to 300J with an accuracy of 6% and with the Nova display can show the results in units of J/cm².
