Beam Waist Analyzer Software (BWA-PRO)

BWA-PRO^TM 

The Haas Laser Technologies BWA-PRO^TM  software is designed based on the international standards ISO 11146 and ISO 13694 which relate to lasers and laser related equipment and laser beam spatial metrics. The ISO standards are generic in nature allowing for several different laboratory setups and testing techniques.

The BWA-PRO^TM  software uses full image based second moment and knife edge to determine quick and reliable ISO beam parameters. Calculated results can be viewed in tabular form as well as logged to view changes over time. A sophisticated, yet easy to use, report generator produces a variety of QC and summary reports in PDF formats for publication or printing. The reports include visualization windows, X and Y axis plots, 3D view of laser beam and database reports.

In every laser application, the laser beam profile provides valuable information for the most efficient use of the laser. The system can measure and monitor the following:

       M2, K and BPP values

       Beam Waist size and location

       Spatial profile

       Focus shift

       Divergence

       Circularity

       Rayleigh Length

       Astigmatism

       Centroid

Haas LTI recommends the following minimum computer requirements for best operation:

• Intel iCore 7 CPU
• > 8 GB RAM
• GigE or higher network card
• Gaming computer graphics card (the better the graphics card, the better for any vision-based application.  Standard graphics card in contemporary laptops will work but gaming-based cards will provide the best speeds.
• The software is specifically designed to support Windows XP / Vista/Windows 7/ Windows 10 operating systems. It is available as 32 Bit / 64 Bit versions and can control up to four beam profiler cameras on a single computer.
