Spiricon has been the world leader in the manufacture of pyroelectric solid-state detector arrays and cameras. For over 25 years the
PyrocamTM has been the overwhelming camera of choice for Laser Beam Diagnostics of IR and UV lasers and high temperature thermal
imaging. Precision, stability, reliability, and versatility have become its proud heritage.

The PyrocamTM III offers easy Win­ ows® camera setup, direct Windows quantitative and image display, 14 bit digitizer, versatile Firewire® PC
interface, an integral chopper for CW beams and thermal imaging, and many other enhanced features.
The PyrocamTM III camera creates clear and illuminating
im­ ges of your laser beam profile. Displayed in 2D
a
or 3D views, you can immediately recognize beam
characteristics that affect laser performance and
operation. This instantly alerts you to detrimental laser
variations. Instantaneous feedback enables timely
correction and real-time tuning of laser parameters. For
example, when an industrial shop foreman saw the CO2
laser beam profile in Figure 1 he knew immediately why
that laser was not processing materials the same as the
other shop lasers, with the profile shown in Figure 2.

Pulsed and CW Lasers
3.2.2 Beam Profile
See Your Beam As Never Before
The PyrocamTM III measures the beam profile of both pulsed and CW lasers. Since the pyroelectric crystal is an in­ egrating sensor, pulses
t
from femtosecond to 12.8ms can be measured. The pyroelectric crystal only measures changes in intensity, and so is relatively immune
to ambient tempera­ ure changes. Because CW laser beams must be chopped to create a changing signal, the PyrocamTM III contains an
t
integral chopper as an option.
