Real-Time Display Pointing-Stability Display
Real-Time M

and Beam Proles
The ModeMaster PC provides real-time
measurement and display for ne tuning M
2
and
many other beam propagation parameters, as well
as the near-eld or far-eld pinhole intensity
beam proles.
Beam-Pointing and Translational Stability
ModeMaster is able to measure and display both
translational (parallel to the beam axis) or angular
(from a pivot point) beam movement over a period
of 2 minutes to 24 hours. The angular pivot point
of the beam axis (often a single optical surface) can
be located along the beam path. Statistical analysis
of the beam axis location and angle are displayed
for both the X and Y axes. Three levels of ltering
reduce noise and increase the sensitivity of
pointing-stability measurements.
Expanded Online Help
The ModeMaster PC provides complete online help. Help messages
also suggest corrective measures when beam parameter limits are
exceeded.
Upgrading to the ModeMaster PC
All previous versions of the ModeMaster systems can be upgraded
to the ModeMaster PC. The original console unit and the LabMaster
display are simply replaced with the ModeMaster PC Control/Interface
Module and Software, installed in a user-supplied compatible PC
computer. All original ModeMaster scan heads are fully compatible
and can be plugged into the ModeMaster PC Control/Interface
Module, which can be ordered separately with the software.
RS-232 Interface
The ModeMaster PC can provide measured beam data, analysis results
and focus scan control (through the RS-232 interface) for remote data
logging, results monitoring and measurement control.
Changes in the shape of a propagating beam
can be astigmatic, asymmetric or both. The beam
shown at the near right has pure astigmatism;
the waists (W0) in the horizontal and vertical
directions are the same size, but occur at different
propagation distances (Z0). In asymmetric beams
(far right) the two waists occur together, but are of
different diameters. The ModeMaster PC provides
complete analysis of these beam characteristics.
