We are proud to announced BeamMic™, a new laser beam analyzer that combines the essentials for beam analysis in a low-cost, entry-level system. BeamMic includes easy-to-use software that measures a beam’s size, shape, uniformity, and mode content.

Beam intensity profiles are displayed simultaneously in 2D and 3D. Statistical analyses can be performed on measurement functions and min/max limits can be set for pass/fail testing. Results are logged and can be exported to industry standard formats. A configurable report generator allows cutting and pasting of results, images, and settings. BeamMic software is integrated with one of four Spiricon USB CCD cameras designed specifically for beam measurements.

“Understanding beam quality is essential for consistent and repeatable results.,” stated Gary Wagner, President of Ophir-Spiricon. “BeamMic provides a low-cost option for those needing only the essentials to monitor their laser’s performance. With BeamMic, setup, measurement, and analysis are quick and easy. Users are up and running right away.”

BeamMic is an entry-level beam analysis system that provides beam intensity profile displays in 2D and 3D. Displays are continuously zoomable and resizable, shown in satellite windows on one or multiple monitors. The system performs ISO measurements and test methods on lasers, including beam width, beam diameter, power/energy distribution, and spatial orientation. Statistical analysis can be performed on all measurements, such as mean, standard deviation, min/max.

BeamMic is based on UltraCal™, Ophir-Spiricon’s patented baseline correction algorithm that helped establish the ISO 11146-3 standard for beam measurement accuracy. BeamMic provides high accuracy results, guaranteeing the data baseline (zero-point reference) is accurate to 1/8^th of a digital count on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
