M2 measurement system “CAM SQUARED”, the latest product from Imagine Optic, offers precise and reliable analysis of laser beam quality with new records in M squared calculation speed and simplicity over other systems.

The standard ISO 11146 requires intensity distribution in at least 10 observation planes from which is computed the M squared factor. They are usually acquired using a camera moved along the optical axis. Imagine Optic proposes an innovative approach allowing the acquisition of the complete dataset needed in only one shot.

Best for: Easy & Quick laser quality testing

+ No need for translation stages
+ No need for alignment
+ No need for focusing optics that can compromise real M2 value

Features

CAM SQUARED performs multiple measurements:

+ M²
+ Divergence
+ Focus diameter
+ Waist position
+ Rayleigh length
+ Thermal effects
+ Astigmatism
+ Follow the reconstruction of the M2 factor from at least 10 observation planes as recommended in the Standard ISO10116.

Software dedicated for M2 measurement

The Application M2 corresponds to an optimized display of laser quality metrics based on WAVEVIEW^TM long-proven optical metrology software. It provides an instant visualization of the M² factor and of the intensity map at any observation plane. One can access these values in only one shot

Option:

Full wavefront reconstruction for alignment, collimation and optimization based on full knowledge of the phase.

Accessories for M2 measurement system CAM SQUARED

Several mounting options are available:
+ Adaptors for the most common mechanical stages
+ Magnetically coupled top and bottom plates, allowing to mount, remove, and replace CAM SQUARED with a high repeatability

Introducing CAM SQUARED – the latest addition to Imagine Optic’s portfolio of cutting-edge products. But don’t just take our word for it – we invite you to check out the product datasheet and see for yourself what makes CAM SQUARED such a powerful and innovative solution. and if you’re still not convinced, we encourage you to read the application note, where we highlight the benefits that this system brought to Oxxius and how much M2 measurement became easy and fast .

Optical metrology is a keystone in the manufacturing of high-performance optical components and systems, and it has been our core domain of expertise for the past 25 years. The numerous benefits the Optical Engineer Companion SWIR brings to the table originate in this extensive experience, building on several patented technologies and a persistent peer-to-peer philosopy.

Accuracy, insensitivity to vibrations, robustness and ease-of-use

Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing was pioneered and developed by Imagine Optic alongside 25 years of collaborations with the most demanding clients from both academia and industry and close to 3,000 instruments built, delivered and embodied by the HASO family of wavefront sensors. This wavefront analysis technology – now a standard in many fields such as telescope alignment and laser beam characterization – provides lambda/100 accuracy, insensitivity to vibrations and overall robustness and ease-of-use.

LIFT, a 16-fold increase in spatial resolution

In a 2021 breakthrough, Imagine Optic gave Shack-Hartmann a “Big LIFT” with the adjunction of the Linearized Focal Plane Technique, resulting in a 16-fold increase in spatial resolution and bringing it on-par with interferometers for optical surfacecharacterization. On top of this exceptional performance and reliability, what really makes the Companion a unique set of instruments is the philosophy that guides Imagine Optic’s team approach to the optical engineer’s perspective and user experience. We are optical engineers ourselves, which means that we share similar everyday challenges with our clients and therefore know what matters most. Hence, while bringing together numerous optical and algorithmic innovations, we also saw the importance of magnetic-isometric repositioning and auto-alignment in order to save precious time and reduce or even eliminate tedious tasks.

MTF, 3D PSF and M-squared

Similarly, Waveview 4, the optical metrology software powering the Companion and all HASO wavefront sensors, underwent a major redesign in 2020 and currently provides the most comprehensive set of optics characterization values, including MTF, 3D PSF and M-squared.
