WinCamD

The Camera we are using belongs to the Chip experiment.

Technical Data

TaperCamD20-15–UCD23:

  • WinCamD with 20 x 15 mm 2.27:1 FO taper on the sensor
  • 2/3“ CCD sensor for CW Pulsed, 1360 x 1024 pixels
  • Pixelsize: ATTENTION The manual states, it is 6.45 µm. But taking the physical dimension (20×15 cm) and amount of pixels into account, it is rather 14.6772 µm

If you have a TaperCamD series camera, press Alt S to reach the WinCamD Capture Setup dialog, and enter the appropriate PMF value in the WinCamD capture screen.

  • TaperCamD20 - 15 - UCD23 Pixel multiply factor = 2.27

Also enter the correct wavelength.

Congratulations. You have successfully completed installation. =)

Shortcuts

Capture setup dialog: Alt+S Start measurement: Press G Stop measurement: Press S

Troubleshooting

Sometimes the camera is not getting recognized. Open the capture setup dialog (Alt+S) and unplug + plug the camera. Now, the program should recognize the camera.

Power Limits

Power >2.5 x (Beam diam in mm) W, or >10 W total, may damage the ND filter. The limit is lower for pulsed lasers, especially ns & fs lasers.

nm Damage Threshold Saturation Irradiance
mW/cm2 uW/cm2
355 Few ~0.3
630 >10 ~0.15
800 “ ~0.1
1060 “ ~10
