Product catalog summary
Beam Profiling Overview
Spiricon has been a leader in laser beam profiling for over 28 years, offering systems for both pulsed and continuous wave (CW) lasers. Their products include silicon cameras, the Pyrocam pyroelectric camera, and various accessories, allowing measurements across a wide range of wavelengths and power levels. The systems conform to ISO 11146 standards, ensuring reliable measurements.
Software Systems
Spiricon offers two main software systems: the Spiricon LBA software, known for its accuracy and versatility, and the BeamStar software, which emphasizes ease of use and automated features. The LBA software is compatible with USB and FireWire cameras, providing portability and simplicity.
Specialized Systems
Spiricon provides specialized systems such as the Pyrocam series for infrared profiling, the M2-2000 for ISO-compliant M2 measurements, and the LPK beam profilers for industrial lasers. They also offer telecom cameras for the 1440 – 1605 nm range and the Hartman Wavefront Analyzer for real-time beam collimation.
Accessories
Various accessories are available, including UV conversion systems, beam expanders and reducers, filters, and beam splitters. These enhance the capability of Spiricon cameras to handle different beam sizes and intensities.
LBA Software Features
The LBA software includes patented Ultracal baseline correction for accurate beam width measurements. It offers features like region of interest selection, zoom capability, 2D and 3D viewing, and user-customizable settings. The software supports multiple camera inputs and provides statistical analysis and pass/fail testing.
Quantitative Calculations
The software performs calculations including total power or energy, peak power density, beam width, and divergence angle. It supports statistical analysis over user-defined intervals and provides beam stability charts.
Signal Conditioning and Enhancement
Spiricon's Ultracal method enhances measurement accuracy by averaging baseline offsets and retaining fractional and negative numbers. The software supports multiple frame averaging and summing to improve signal-to-noise ratio and extract weak signals.
Camera Options
Camera options include gamma correction for nonlinear response and lens-applied options for image inversion and pixel scale adjustment.
Camera Gain Correction and Control
Manual gain and black level control are available for specific applications. The system supports multiple synchronization and capture modes, including continuous capture, single shot, live video, and block mode. Interface options include ActiveX compatibility with MATLAB and LabVIEW.
BeamStar Software Features
The BeamStar software offers automated operation and easy report generation. It supports exclusive photodiode triggering and allows customization of digital camera formats for optimal resolution and speed. The software includes a Beam Wander screen for tracking laser beam movement over time.
M Squared Measurement
The M2-200 Beam Propagation Analyzer measures beam focusability and helps tune lasers for optimal performance. It complies with ISO 11146 standards and offers both automatic and manual measurement modes.
Hartmann Wavefront Analyzer
This tool measures beam wavefronts, aiding in beam collimation and optical component inspection. It provides real-time data results and allows for detailed analysis of beam propagation characteristics.
Pyroelectric Array Cameras - Pyrocam III Series
The Pyrocam III is designed for scientific and industrial applications, featuring a wide spectral range and high dynamic range. It is used for aligning optical systems and analyzing beam properties in fiber optic communications.
General Specifications
The Pyrocam III operates in IR and UV ranges, with interchangeable windows and high sensitivity to detect low power levels.
FireWire Silicon CCD Cameras
These cameras offer a wide spectral range and high dynamic range, suitable for sophisticated measurements.

These cameras are USB 2.0 compatible and provide a spectral range of 350 - 1100nm.
Framegrabber Silicon CCD Cameras
These cameras offer a wide spectral range and feature selection, with high-speed electronic shutters.
Industrial CO2 Laser Beam Profiler
The II-IV-CO2-BS Series provides an inline solution for monitoring and optimizing industrial CO2 laser beams.
Laser Profiler Kits for YAG and CO2
These kits offer portable solutions for medium power lasers, including components like reflecting wedges, ND filters, and beam telescopes.
Accessories for Beam Profiling
Various accessories are available for UV lasers, including image converters and attenuators.
YAG Focal Spot Analyzer
This tool is used to measure the focal spot of high-power YAG lasers.

With LBA-FW, connecting multiple FireWire cameras is a snap. LBA-FW facilitates synchronizing the cameras in order to capture single events simultaneously from several locations. Allow the event to trigger the cameras, or setup a corresponding external trigger. Ultracal sets the baseline precisely. Beam width calculations become the most accurate.With the baseline set too low, laser wings are clipped off in the A/D converter. Calculated beam widths are now too small. With the baseline set too high, the algorithm interprets the baseline as wings in the laser beam. Calculated beam widths are now...

User-selectable Z-axis scaling > When the signal is too weak to adequately display on the screen, Z-axis scaling recovers the detail that cant be readily seen. In addition, Z-axis scaling allows you to examine energy in the wings of a beam even if the peak signal was large enough for normal display. Since beam data is stored in raw form, Z-scaling can be applied whether recording the beam live or analyzing data by post-processing days later. Viewed at 1x, the Z-axis provides little detail (left). At 8x the weak signal can now be examined easily (right). Without Ultracal, the DC baseline offset...
