1 inch CMOS Beam Profiler with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 1" CMOS Beam Profiler with SuperSpeed USB 3.0
DataRay’s new WinCamD-LCM CMOS Beam Profiler provides SuperSpeed USB 3.0 transfer rates and a high-resolution 1" CMOS detector. This 4.2 MPixel beam profiling camera features 5.5 µm pixels, a 2048 × 2048 active area, an update rate of up to 30 Hz, and an optical/TTL trigger. The advanced CMOS detector eliminates comet tailing, and the global shutter with trigger enables pulse capture. DataRay's full-featured, intuitive software is included with every system.

Photodetector Discerns Polarized Light Intrinsically
Few photodetector materials can discern polarized light — individual electromagnetic waves oscillating parallel to one another — directly without the use of a grate or a filter. For a newly created carbon-based broadband photodetector, however, polarimetry is intrinsic to the active material.

Real-time Profiling for Focusing, M2, Divergence & Alignment Real-time Profiling for Focusing, M2, Divergence & Alignment
Beam intensity profiling is an essential tool in many aspects of photonics. The precise intensity distribution in a focused laser beam is critical in many applications: flow cytometry, laser printing, medical lasers, and cutting lasers are just a few examples. Intensity profile measurements can characterize and improve a product or process, leading to substantial cost and time savings that can pay for the measurement instrument many times over. This white paper describes how the unique, patented, real-time multiple z-plane XYZTF capabilities of the BeamMap2 slit-scan profiler can speed and simplify laser assembly alignment.

FEL pulse temporal profile made in a FLASH
The temporal profile of an individual free-electron laser (FEL) pulse now can be measured with femtosecond precision using FLASH, a soft-x-ray FEL. The technique could be used to film atoms in motion or to study chemical reactions and phase transitions.
