BA-CAM® (High Power)

The BA-CAM Beam Analyzer CAMera and software enables laser beam measurement, analysis and monitoring of multi-kilowatt CW and pulsed lasers. The system design is based on the international standards ISO 13694 which relate to lasers and laser related equipment and laser beam spatial metrics. In every laser application, the laser beam profile provides valuable information for the most efficient use of the laser. By monitoring the laser beams spatial profile, circularity, centroid, astigmatism values, the system provides early warning of any problems with the laser and entire beam delivery optical system. This relates to increased quality, process reliability, and reduced scrap. The High Power BA-CAM is modular in design and can be configured for most applications and laser wavelengths. The design contains no moving components and provides instantaneous measurements and analysis of the laser beam and all active optical elements.

The High Power BA-CAM utilizes a patented† ghost suppression technology and a pending patent technology on a compact attenuator which provides the most compact, lightest weight profile measurement system on the market. Powers of more than 1 kilowatt can be measured with the right beam dump attached. BA-CAM configurations available for powers up to 30 kilowatts and fiber core sizes from single mode to any multimode size.
