Newport's new LBP-HR Laser Beam Profiler offers true 12 bit dynamic range, and a high resolution 1.4 Megapixel CCD for detailed beam profile measurement and analysis of most laser sources. The LBP-HR is a powerful software driven laser beam diagnostics device with complete beam diagnostic measurement features, including a multi-measurement routine to increase signal integrity for higher accuracy results. For continuous or pulsed laser beams, it provides an extensive range of graphical presentations and analysis capabilities of laser beam parameters such as: beam width, shape, position, power and intensity profiles. The LBP-HR Laser Beam Profiler includes an NG4, an NG9, and an NG10 attenuator that thread into the camera aperture for power reduction of the input beam. The LBP-HR communicates with the PC software with USB, and is powered by the USB port on your PC, so no need for and an external AC adapter. This user-friendly system presents graphical and numerical information for an intuitive interpretation of data in real-time.
Beam Profiling
A variety of beam profiling view options are available: line profiles, sum profiles summing total intensity along the vertical and the horizontal axes, 2D and 3D intensity projection views. The 2D and 3D plots can freely be rotated flipped along the beam optical axis, allowing the user to inspect the beam profile at any viewing angle.
The beam centroid is continuously monitored relative to the center of the CCD head. Up to three centroid tracking is possible by defining the regions of interest (ROI). X and Y position as well as the distance from the center are displayed.
Statistics Features
Comprehensive statistical information is updated in real time and nicely layed out in a table, where the minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation values are easily accessible.

Accessories
Newport provides an extensive set of accessories to accommodate various experimental requirements. If additional NG4, NG9, or NG10 neutral density filters are needed they can be purchased separately. Multiple filters can be stacked up to increase attenuation. However, the filter can be damaged if a high power laser, which exceeds the damage threshold of the filter, is directly incident on it.
The LBP-SAM beam sampler allows sampling of the input power to the ratio of approximately 10-6 to avoid the damage of the CCD chip, especially when a high power laser is characterized. The beam sampler comes with a mount and a built-in fan with a 5 V power supply, to keep it cool while handling high intensity laser beam.
