Legacy Camera Specifications
Note: All USB2 cameras supported by LBP2 will operate in either 32 bit or 64 bit
Windows Operating Systems (OS). Newport recommends Windows 7 with at least
4GB of RAM memory and an add-in graphics card.

30µs to multiple frame times
1. BNC connector accepts positive or negative trigger. LED on camera
indicates triggering. Will synchronize with laser repetition rates up to 1kHz.
Built in pre-trigger allows synchronization to even sub-nanosecond pulses
2. Same connector can provide trigger out to sync laser. Supports
programmable delay on Strobe Out
3. Same connector accepts photodiode trigger (see below)
Optional photodiode trigger available
(1) Camera set to full resolution at maximum frame rate and exposure times, running CW at
632.8nm wavelength. Camera set to minimum useful gain for saturation test and maximum useful
gain for lowest signal test.
(2) May be useable for wavelengths below 350nm but sensitivity is low and detector distortion may
occur. Therefore UV image converter is recommended. Although our silicon cameras have shown
response out to 1320nm it can cause significant blooming which could lead to significant errors of
beam width measurement.
(3) This is the damage threshold of the filter glass of the filters. Assuming all filters are mounted
with ND1 (red housing) filter in the front. Distortion of the beam may occur with average power
densities as low as 5W/cm²
