Attenuation
Attenuation Range Nominally from ND 1.0 to ND 4.8. Actual values vary with wavelength.
Optical Limits
Wavelength Range
266-1700nm limited by camera.
The CCD camera is operational from 266 to 1100nm. InGaAs camera operates
from 900 to 1700nm.
Beam Size
BeamSquared Auto Mode 1mm – 10mm.
BeamSquared Manual Mode 1mm – 20mm.
Varies with wavelength, waist size, location, and M

. BeamSquared employs a focusing optic. While it may be that the laser input power or
energy density measures well below this damage threshold, it can easily exceed these levels when
focused onto the camera sensor. Use caution and err on the side of safety. CCD cameras are costly
to repair or replace.
