BEAMCAM – Laser Beam Profiler

Get a full picture of your system’s optical performance with the World Star Tech BeamCam. The BeamCam laser beam profiler allows you to see the exact shape and features of your laser beams at a microscopic scale. Designed for repeatable and reliable data acquisition, it is ideal for manufacturing, servicing, and assembly applications.

The windowless 1.3 Megapixel 1/2” sensor captures beam profiles without the fringing effects present with standard image sensors. View intricate beam features as small as 5.2µm, and visualise the beam with real-time ellipse calculations and view cross sections with curve fitting. Key beam width parameters of interest, such as Full Width Half-Maximum (FWHM) and 1/e2, are displayed on the easy-to-use Windows software interface. Track beam centroid stability over time with the beam wander visualisation tool featuring customisable test durations and sample rates, and export your results to various image formats/PDF.

Cross-Section Analysis:

The cross-section tool is invaluable for measuring the beam width. The width of the beam can be measured in 3 modes:

Full-Width-Half-Maximum (FWHM, 50% intensity)
1/e² (~13.5% intensity)
Custom – where you can manually specify the intensity level at which the beam width is calculated

Gaussian or Top-Hat curve-fitting can be applied to each cross section, with the best-fit curve calculated based on the cross section and the relevant curve equation.

Beam Wandering Tool:

The BeamCam can be used to measure beam wander over time. The coordinates of the centroid, orientation of the beam, and 2W (major and minor) are displayed in the upper right-hand corner, with the beam wander visualiser below.

Kit Components:

The BEAMCAM is available as a kit with the following components:
