If you have a laser, you need to measure it. As in every year – Ophir’s 2019 new catalog covers a wide range of laser power and energy sensors, meters and laser beam profiling systems for medical, industrial, defense, and research applications. Contact us
We at Ophir believe that our thermal sensors can be used for many years without the need of repairs when used with the proper laser optical setup. But often, when we receive sensors for calibration, we can tell that misuse is leading to early deterioration. Contact us
Considerations for using photodiodes to measure pulsed beams In most cases, pulsed beams are measured using pyroelectric detectors. However, for pulsed lasers with very high repetition rates (>100 kHz) or very weak pulses (<0.1 uJ), pyroelectric detectors won’t work. If a measurement of average power is sufficient, then often a thermal sensor can be used. …
