MKS Instruments, at Laser World of Photonics, introduced the new Ophir SP920 USB 3.0 Silicon CCD High Resolution Beam Profiling Camera. The camera accurately captures and analyzes wavelengths from 190nm - 1100nm, with enhanced sensitivity at 1070nm. Based on a compact design, the camera features a wide dynamic range, unparalleled signal to noise ratio, USB 3.0 interface, and BeamGage beam analysis software, the most advanced beam analysis software in the industry. It is ideal for measuring CW and pulsed laser profiles in such high-speed applications as medical imaging, microscopy, or micromachining.

The new SP920 beam profiling camera includes a high-speed USB 3.0 interface for transferring data at up to 5 Gbit/s, approximately 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Able to handle a larger spot size range than traditional cameras, it delivers 1624 x 1224 pixel resolution with a 4.4µm pixel pitch for measuring beam widths of 44µm - 5.3mm. It supports frame rates up to 15 fps at full resolution. It also includes a photodiode synch to capture scattered laser light at even the most challenging nanosecond pulse rates.

The camera is supported by BeamGage beam analysis software. BeamGage Standard beam analysis software includes all the algorithms and calculations needed to make accurate, ISO approved laser beam measurements. The software provides advanced image processing features, NIST-traceable power measurements, trend charting, data logging, pass/fail production testing, and multilingual support for English, Japanese, and Chinese. BeamGage Professional beam analysis software adds such capabilities as partitioning of the camera output for separate analysis of multiple laser beams from sources such as fiber, a .NET interface for full remote control when integrating beam analysis into an automated application, and camera sharing.
