Beam Cube Assembly
The Beam Cube Assembly contains the following
components
•
Spiricon SP503U camera for Beam Profiling (or
SP620U camera in Beam Cube 620 version)
•
2 Beam Splitters to reduce the power intensity of
the laser beam as it hits the Spiricon camera by a
factor of 400:1
•
A negative imaging lens to expand the size of the
laser beam by a factor of 2-3 while moving the
focal point out, thereby enabling profiling of focal
spots as small as 50µm in size. The lens can also
be removed to measure parallel beams of up to
7mm in size. A -100mm lens is supplied with the
system. Other focal lengths can be purchased if
necessary.
