08 Dec 2008 The only ISO compliant system for all reported measurements;
its optical train uses a fixed position
lens, and automatically translates the camera
through the near field and far field beam
waist.
All measurements and translations, as well as incremental beam attenuation, are automatically computer controlled. Manual mode is available for beams that are too large or too small or at wavelengths outside the standard optical train. The M2-200s optical train uses a fixed position lens and camera. The mirrors that direct the focused beam into the camera are moved to precise locations, translating the beam through both the near field and far field beam waist. All these measurements and translations, as well as incremental beam attenuation, are automatically controlled by the M2-200s software. Software improvements in the M2-200s, including more efficient algorithm execution, has decreased the measurement reporting time by 2-3 times, making it possible to report M2 in under two minutes. |
