The answer to this is, of course, it depends. It depends on the pulse frequency and it depends on which sensor you want to use. Thermopile detectors do not have very fast response times, so frequencies above 100Hz are effectively the same as CW to them and all BeamTrack functions will perform as expected. Below…
Ophir customers often need to connect different optical components together to create an optimal setup to best meet their needs. Ophir provides mutual interconnections between different Ophir products via adapters with various threads, designed to exactly fit required optical path distances for each device. This is an integrated solution, pre-aligned and ready to use. Our…

High power laser applications High power laser application has significantly increased in recent years due to new production techniques that enable cheaper manufacturing and operating costs. Applications of high-power lasers that seemed exotic a few years ago are now considered routine in material processing and micromachining. Such material processing applications as welding, cutting, additive manufacturing,…
Working with lasers? Need a new sensor? Beam profiling solutions? Are there any laser parameters you need to calculate, such as power density or ideal focus spot size? Check out Ophir’s tools Beam Profile finder Simply input your input parameters and the finder lists the best beam profiling solutions for you As you probably know, we already have a Sensor Finder on…
Lightweight, complex mechanical parts can now be “built to order” quickly and automatically, thanks to Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. AM involves building up a structure by adding material to it layer by layer, with each layer being a precise cross section of the structure. Originally used for rapid prototyping, AM – now based on various…
So maybe you would like to measure the beam profile of your laser or light source? As you probably know, we already have a Sensor Finder on the Ophir website to help you find the right device to measure your laser’s power or energy. But what about devices to measure the beam profile? Here, the…
