BQM-50 BEAM PROPAGATION ANALYZER

25 Jun 2013

Arden Photonics introduces the new BQM-50 Beam Propagation Analyzer. Compact, easy to align and adjust, it measures M² in less than 20 seconds, with a wavelength range of 400 to 1100nm.

The BQM-50 is designed to allow complete measurement of laser beam propagation characteristics. It applies patented NPL technology, which means it has no moving parts. This means there is no need for a translation stage which is normally required to allow beam widths to be sampled as the camera moves through the laser caustic. So the BQM-50 is one of the most compact and capable beam quality systems available.

The clear, simple to use software gives complete control over the measurement which can be controlled via USB2.0 interface from a laptop computer. This gives the whole system portability and convenience which means you can make M² measurements whenever and wherever you want to.

Features and Benefits:

• Complete beam characterisation - M², Divergence angle, Width at waist, Waist location, Rayleigh Range and Astigmatism etc.
• Measurement time under 20 seconds means you can see changes in beam quality such as during warm-up
• Wavelength range 400 to 1100nm
• Compact size means you can measure in situation
• Easy alignment and adjustment saves time and reduces possibility of operator errors
• Compatible with CW and Quasi-CW Pulsed Laser source
• USB2.0 direct connection gives portability - take the BQM-50 to where you need to do measurements.
