The new LBP2 series laser beam profilers are available with a visible (190 - 1100 nm) CCD or a phosphor coated (1440 - 1605 nm) CCD camera. Both the cameras are available in the 640x480 array low resolution or the 1600x1200 array high resolution versions.
The Phosphor coating technology allows you to view NIR (1440 - 1605 nm) lasers and light sources to measure with LBP2-IR and LBP2-HR-IR . The anti-Stokes phosphor coating produces visible photons at a rate roughly the square of the input signal. This non-linearity or Gamma is corrected in the software\'s Gamma Correction function. Thus an accurate, linear image of the beam profile is obtained permitting standard, cost effective analysis of NIR beams. Note that the measured laser spot size will be slightly larger than the actual size, due to the use of phosphorescence.
Each laser beam profiler comes with stackable neutral density filters (one ND1 and two ND2 filters) with a 19 mm clear aperture, 1 inch-32UN (C-Mount). The damage threshold for these ND filters is 5 W/cm2.
LBP2 series comes with one ND1 and two ND2 stackable attenuators.
LBP2-SAM mounted on an LBP2 laser beam profiler
The LBP2-SAM Series beam sampler attachment allows you to measure laser beams with diameters up to 15mm and powers ranging from 10 mW to ~400 Watts. The beam sampler is designed so that the preferential polarization selection effect of a single wedge is cancelled out and the resulting beam image is polarization corrected to restore the polarization components of the original beam. The beam sampler operates by reflecting the incoming beam from the front surfaces of a pair of wedges through 90 degrees into the camera. Approximately 99% of the beam is transmitted through the beam sampler with 0.01% passed on to the camera. A set of adjustable ND filters are provided to make final intensity adjustments to the beam before it reaches the camera imager. Also, two samplers can be coupled in series providing up to a 10-8attenuation.
The following table offers an easy cross reference chart for the legacy LBP series laser beam profilers.

The LBP2 software and camera installation is simple and easy. See the video below for a step-by-step instruction.
The LBP2 software interface offers a broad range of functions and ISO approved quantitative results with an ease-of-use software user interface. The patented UltraCal algorithm, guarantees the data baseline or “zero-reference point” is accurate to 1/10 of a digital count on a pixel-by-pixel basis. ISO 11146 requires that a baseline correction algorithm be used to improve the accuracy of beam width measurements.
LBP2 software is flexible and powerful.

| Frame Summing | Up to 256 frames can be summed to pull very weak signals out of the noise.

| Trigger, Capture and Synchronization Methods | Capture methods are features related to the application while Synchronization methods relate more to the abilities of the specific camera. NOTE: Frame capture rates are determined by many factors and are not guaranteed for any specific operating configuration. |
|
Trigger modes • CW - captures continuously, see Capture Options below • Triigger-In from laser: Trigger pulses supplied to the camera • Strobe-Out to laser: Strobe pulses output from the camera • Video Trigger: Frame captured and displayed only when the camera sees a signal greater than a user set level | |
|
Capture options • Results Priority: Results priority will slow the capture rate to be in sync with the computational results and display updates • Frame Priority: Frame priority will slow results and display updating to insure that frames are collected and stored in the frame buffer as fast as possible (replaces block mode) • Stop After: Will collect a set number of frames and then stop • Periodic: Will collect frame at a programmed periodic rate • Periodic Burst: Will collect frames in a Burst at programmed periodic rates |

Q: What does the product package include?
A: The LBP2 series Laser Beam Profilers come with a software CD, software license, camera, USB cable, one stackable ND1 filter and two ND2 filters.
Q: Which operating systems is the software compatible with?
A: The software operates in Windows 7 (32/64) and VISTA (32/64) operating systems.
Q: Can the program take data from multiple cameras? How many cameras can be used?
A: Yes, the LBP2 series application software can take data from multiple cameras, and the maximum number is dependent on the computer hardware. We recommend that only one camera is connected to a single bus to avoid slowing down of the camera connection.
