µBeam
µBeam: The Analyzer for Microscopic beams
The µBeam is a beam diagnostics measurement system for real-time measurement and display of small CW or pulsed lasers in the sub-micron range, fiber optic and laser diode beam profiles. Main features include: measure beam of less than 0.5µm (FWHM), handles CW or pulses, having a long working distance, using a high resolution CCD response range, optical zooming for fast beam finding.
µBeam has applications in CD pickup, laser diodes, adjustment of pickup lenses and optics components, evaluation and testing of various light beam parameters.
A high power version of the µBeam is also available, using the SAM3-HP beam sampler.
