Laser Beam Measurement Software: BeamGage®

Source: MKS Ophir

Accurately determining a laser beam’s size, shape, uniformity, and approximate expected power distribution are absolutely critical to understand in today’s boundary pushing laser designs. BeamGage beam profiling software is based on Ultracal, the company’s patented baseline correction algorithm that helped establish the ISO 11146-3 standard for beam measurement accuracy. Ultracal is the only beam profiler algorithm to set the baseline to zero and in the center of the noise. BeamGage also features BeamMaker® - a modal beam generator that simulates laser beam profile data as if it were coming from an external camera, including input conditions like signal-to-noise, background offset, and bits per pixel resolution. BeamMaker is to laser analysis as a function generator is to an oscilloscope.

Features include:

  • Extensive set of ISO quantitative measurements
  • Patented Ultracal™ algorithm for highest accuracy measurements in the industry
  • Customizable user interface for ‘ease of use’
  • Auto-setup and Auto-exposure capabilities for fast set-up and optimized accuracy
  • Statistical analysis on all calculated results displayed in real time
