High pressure vessels (over 100 PSI) have high quality standards for their structural integrity, for obvious reasons. Weld points can often pose a critical failure, so these especially must be tested to withstand the high pressure of gas that the container will be used for. Remote laser welding stations typically use multimode, multi-kilowatt fiber lasers…
Is your laser’s focal spot where you think it is? The following video shows the focal shift of a 100Kw laser during the first four seconds of startup using BeamWatch, Ophir’s non-contact high power beam analyzer. Contact us
As every year – Ophir’s new 2021 catalog for laser measurement covers a wide range of laser power and energy sensors, meters and laser beam profiling systems for medical, industrial, defense, and research applications. The first section of the catalog is devoted to laser power meters, which consist of sensors (detectors) and meters (displays). Ophir online tools…

Prism Award is an annual international competition that honors the best new optics and photonics products on the market, and our LBS-300HP-NIR Attenuator has been nominated in the quality control category. The new…
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,…
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…
When asking the SLM manufacturers and users about what they need to know about the laser beam, the first answer we mostly get is, the cross section of the beam profile. But sometimes, this is not the key to solving most problems. The following blog post offers examples of additive manufacturing systems troubleshooting using Ophir’s…
Ophir Fiber Adapter Solution can be used as a diagnosis tool. In addition it is ideally suited for manufacturers of laser fibers or fiber lasers. By connecting the fiber directly to the power meter, they can easily perform power measurement within the production process or as end of line testing.

Over the past 50 years, laser technology has become an integral part of modern medicine. Since a laser beam provides a vehicle for delivering energy in such a precisely controlled way, and without physical contact, it’s not surprising that the laser has found so much use in medical applications. The following video describes recent Ophir laser measurement solutions for medical applications and laser beam analysis:
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
