ZAP-IT

Additional information

ZAP-IT is simple to use. Hold or fasten it in the beam path at the point where the beam imprint is to be recorded. Pulse the laser and a permanent visual record is produced, corresponding to the energy distribution within the laser beam. If the laser being used is continuous wave (CW), create a short pulse by using a Q-switch, mechanical chopper, or by physically turning the laser on and off rapidly - use Zap-It laser paper with pulse-widths from 1ns to 30ms and pulse energy densities from 5mJ/cm^2 to 20J/cm^2.

ZAP-IT can be used to document;

• Beam shape
• Mode Quality (M^2)
• Mirror alignment accuracy
• Component positions
• Energy distribution and beam edge definition
• Divergence
• Damaged optics within the beam path
• Beam documentation before patient procedure

Note: For beam diameters less than 6.3mm it may be difficult to see the beam characteristics and the beam should be expanded. If using a planoconvex lens, locate the ZAP-IT paper at an image distance 2.5 x the focal length of the lens.

OPTIONS:

Other paper sizes, sheets printed with grid lines or targets, and adhesive paper are available upon request.
