Product Description

Photon Inc 2180-XY/HP High-Power 2-Axis Beam Scan Head

This is an advanced, two-axis scanning slit beam profiler designed for characterizing high-power laser beams. It simultaneously scans in the X and Y axes with a built-in attenuator, allowing safe and accurate measurement of beam diameter, position, intensity distribution, and M² for lasers that would damage standard profilers.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Model: 2180-XY/HP (High-Power, 2-Axis)

• Scanning Axes: X and Y for complete 2D beam profiling

• High-Power Design: Integrated attenuator for measuring lasers up to several hundred watts (specify power rating if known)

• Detector: Likely silicon or germanium photodiode

• Spectral Range: Visible to near-IR (e.g., 400–1800 nm)

• Interface: RS-232 or GPIB for connection to a Photon controller (e.g., Model 0810)

• Applications: High-power solid-state, fiber, and CO₂ laser characterization

Applications:

• High-Power Laser Manufacturing: Quality control for industrial, medical, or defense lasers

• Laser R&D: Characterizing high-power diode stacks, fiber lasers, or slab lasers

• System Integration: Verifying beam delivery in laser cutting, welding, or additive manufacturing systems

• Telecom & Fiber Optics: Testing high-power pump lasers and amplifiers
