BWA-CAM

14 Nov 2017

The Beam Waist Analyser Camera (BWA-CAM) from Haas enables real time laser

beam measurement, analysis and monitoring for high power CW and pulsed

lasers. For applications such as materials processing; monitoring the laser beam’s

spatial profile, circularity, centroid, astigmatism and M2 gives an early warning of

any problems with the laser, and entire beam delivery optical system. This can give

increased quality process reliability and reduced scrap.

The BWA-CAM is simply placed after the focussing lens of the laser under evaluation

and adjusted until the beam waist can be seen. Displaying a number of spatial cross

sections along the beam waist, the software automatically tracks and sizes the regions

of interest for accurate M2 measurement.

The Beam Waist Analyser Camera is suitable for use with any focal length up to

100mm as standard and can be used for focal lengths greater than this with an

optical focal length adaptor which mounts to the entrance port of the BWA-CAM.
