NEWS! CANARE Beam Profier (BPF series) received an OPTICAL DESIGN AWARD.
No attenuators needed!
Try it!
The BPF series (BPF-L, BPF-S) have unique fluorescence imaging technology (FIT). The beam profile of high power lasers can be directly measured without any attenuators in front of the imaging plate. You can realize true behavior of your laser beam from the precise, real-time, real-place, speckle-free images of the BPF series. (JP.PAT.6244502)

Measurement (software)
| 2D/3D View (intensity profile) | |
| 1D Cross sectional view | X/Y-cut, Radial-cut, Arbitrary-cut, etc. |
| Beam diameter calculations | Threshold, D4σ, Gauss/Super-gauss-fit, Knife-edge, Moving slit, etc. |
| 2D Beam parameter calculations | Centroid, Azimuth angle, Ellipticity, Eccentricity, Uniformity, Cross-sectional area, etc. |
| Beam propagation parameter calculations | Divergence angle, Beam waist diameter, Rayleigh length, M2 value, etc. |
| Beam stability | Centroid, Beam diameter, Peak intensity, Power, etc. |
