Spiricon LBA-100A Laser Beam Analyzer System just purchased...

[Ragdoll]

I recently picked up this unit not because I need it but because it was almost nothing and it may come in handy for some fellow PL'ers. The unit did not come with a camera but I am hoping that some here might have old CCD cameras they be willing to donate to stay with the unit in a roadcase. I plan on bringing the unit to LEM's or will ship it to a LEM I can not make. That way everyone can see their diodes in action. I am listing the units specs and product brochure below. Any input is welcome or if you have a need for this new "toy" just PM me.

Regards,
Ragdoll

I KNOW! I thought everyone here would get a kick from it. Purchased it for 20 bucks at a wholesale instrument reseller. It was Gov surplus.

I have a few spare cameras. Spiricon only made ~200 of those, they bought mine back, as certain customers prefer the old unit. (Better!)

Would you be willing to part with a camera or two to keep with the unit? Again I bought this for PL's to share at LEM's and such.

Yes, pm me off list. Its a PAL cam with known size pixels and is a 1/2" ccd. Since its PAL you get ~100 more lines resolution compared to NTSC.

I have the newer PCI version of the analyser.

You'll need a rail of some sort to slide the camera along, for divergence. It can take some skill to get a good measurement without a rail of some sort.
