SP1203 Beam Profiling Camera FAQ

What is the distance from the front of the camera to the sensor?

We call this term a "CCD recess". Ophir provides differen Beam Profiler cameras designated for varies uses , thus there are 2 types CCD recess: Most models has 4.5mm CCD recess. Some models have standard C-mount camera has a sensor depth from the front of the camera to the sensor of 17.5mm. Some outdated Ophir beam profilers had 12.5mm recess.

What is the saturation level of the SP1203 camera?

The saturation intensity for the SP1203 is 8.9μW/cm2 at 1550nm Follow this link and input your laser parameters and you can calculate the your power density.

At what wavelengths is the SP1203 most responsive?

What is the framerate of the SP1203?

60 Frames/second

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.

What beam sizes can I measure with the SP1203?

150μm - 7.4mm 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.
