The Pyrocam IV laser beam profiling camera accurately captures and analyzes wavelengths from 13 to 355 nm and 1.06 to 3000 µm with its broadband array. It features a solid state high-resolution 320 x 320 pyroelectric array with a wide dynamic range, fast data capture rates, and operates in CW or Pulsed modes which makes it ideal for analysis of NIR, CO2, and THz sources.
BeamGage Professional has all of the functionality that BeamGage Standard includes. BeamGage Professional supports all of our beam profiling cameras, includes window partitioning to allow analysis of multiple beams on a single camera, and includes an automation interface written in .NET to push data to your custom applications.
Pyrocam Pyroelectric Beam Profiler Camera Overview
BeamGage® Laser Profiling Software
BeamGage® comes in two versions: Standard and Professional. Each builds off of the next adding additional capability and flexibility as needed for adapting to almost any configuration requirement. The software performs rigorous data analyses on the same parameters, in accordance with the ISO standards, providing quantitative measurement of numerous beam spatial characteristics. Pass/Fail limit analysis for each of these parameters can be also applied.

Laser Beam Profiler Accessories
When performing beam profiling measurements on a laser, it is sometimes necessary to manipulate the beam in order to achieve a signal that is suitable to be measured. Occasionally, the beam needs to be sized correctly by either increasing it if it is too small, or increasing it if it is too large. Often times, the laser’s power needs to be reduced to a certain level to be imaged. Our laser beam profiler accessories allow you to achieve proper beam sizes and power levels so that you can achieve the most accurate measurements possible.
Designing Laser Beam with BeamMaker
BeamMaker helps engineers, technicians, and researchers understand a beam's modal content by creating a theoretically generated beam. Design your perfect beam profile in BeamMaker by specifying the mode, size, width, height, intensity, angle, and noise content - then configure your laser to run the as designed, and compare your actual beam to the theoretically derived measurements. The end result is knowledge about how much the real beam varies from the desired beam.
Fundamentals of Laser Measurement & Beam Profiling
Is your laser's beam profile shaped correctly for your application? This video teaches the fundamentals of laser beam profiles and discusses the benefits of profiling your laser beam. Several case studies are presented showing before and after laser beam profiles.
Measuring Laser Focus Spot Size in an industrial Medical Device Application
This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to set up a camera-based beam profiling system on an industrial single-pulse laser welding system. It will also demonstrate for you how to simultaneously analyze the laser's focused spot, measure the laser's energy per pulse, and measure its temporal pulse shape.
The saturation power for the Pyrocam IV in chopped mode is 3.0W/cmᒾ (25Hz) and 4.5W/cmᒾ (50Hz) and the Saturation energy in pulsed mode is 15mJ/cmᒾ. Follow this link and input your laser parameters and you can calculate the your power density.
25/50Hz chopped mode, SS-100Hz pulsed mode consecutive, up to 1kHz pulse mode non-consecutive
The effective frame rates listed in BeamGage specification sheets are the maximum rates typically achievable in actual use. Frame buffering, image processing techniques, graphical displays, and mathematical computation all add degrees of overhead to achieving higher frame rates. This can be further limited by the available PC hardware. BeamGage features two modes, Frame Priority and Results Priority, which change how the system balances the work. Results Priority acquires a frame, performs any enabled image processing, performs all calculations and updates the graphical displays before accepting another frame from the camera. This mode is most useful when a temporal sequence of frames is not necessary and should always be enabled when logging. Frame Priority mode will allow the calculations and graphical display updates to be interrupted if another frame is ready from the camera before those operations are complete. This can be useful when collecting all frames at the maximum camera frame rate is necessary.
1.6mm - 25.1mm
The accurate beam size minimum is derived by the pixel size of the camera. In order to get an accurate measurement, there must be enough coverage of pixels to ensure that illuminating another pixel will not over exaggerate the beam size. Follow this link to find out more.
