Single Beam Interferometer
10705A
The Keysight 10705A Single Beam Interferometer, the smallest linear interferometer, is designed for making low mass or limited space single axis measurements. It is ideal for use in disk drive and other confined space applications. The single beam interferometer is called that because the outgoing and returning beams are superimposed on each other, giving the appearance of only one beam traveling between the interferometer and the retroreflector.

Camera Based Beam Profiling
BeamGage
See your beam as never before with BeamGage®. The camera-based beam profiling system consists of a camera and analysis software. Often times, this system will need to be used with beam attenuation or beam sizing accessories, depending on your laser application. The advantage to camera-based beam profiling is the real-time viewing and measuring of a laser’s structure. BeamGage software includes an extensive set of ISO quantitative measurements, features a rich graphical interface, and features its patented UltraCal™ algorithm, providing the industry’s highest accuracy measurements.

Beam Directing and Reflecting Optics
Beam directing and reflecting optics simply reflect, bend or translate the beam, but do not typically modify the polarization, except for polarizing beam splitters. For example, mirrors, cube corners and retroreflectors are attached to objects that move in order to keep the weight down on the moving object (instead of mounting the interferometer on the moving object).

*Beam Profiling For 266nm To 3000µm
Unlike a power meter that measures average or instantaneous Watts or Joules of the overall laser beam, knowing how the power is distributed within the beam is equally as important. As an example, if you want to cut something the power should generally be focused in the center of the beam to concentrate the power density in a very small area but if you were trying to weld something with all the power in the center you would poke a hole in the weld; requiring the power to be equally distributed as in a top hat profile.

*Beam Propagation Analysis
M²
M², or Beam Propagation Ratio, is a value that indicates how close a laser is to being a single mode TEM00 beam, which in turn determines how small a beam waist can be focused. For the perfect Gaussian TEM00 condition the M² equals 1. M² cannot be determined from a single beam profile measurement. The ISO/DIS 11146 requires that M² be calculated from a series of measurements. M² is measured on real beams by focusing the beam with a fixed position lens of known focal length, and then measuring the characteristics of the artificially created beam waist and divergence. We have a number of solutions for the measurement of M² ranging from simple manual processes to fully automated dedicated instruments, depending on the frequency of the need to measure M² of lasers and laser systems.

Beam Directional Power Supply Mains
SiteX CP200D
Being just 20 mm longer than the CP160D, the CP200D represents the best compromise between high penetration (up to 42 mm for steel) and the capacity of the generator to fit with various NDT applications, such as inspections of more technical materials in the aeronautical or space industries. The CP200D is one of the most versatile generators on the market and thanks to its built-in multiple X-Ray output carrousel it will adapt to a very wide variety of NDT applications, without compromising in any manner its light weight (12 kg) and ease of use.
