If you are measuring very low powers, you’ll want a photodiode power sensor. These come in various models, with physically different detectors. Some are made from Silicon, some are Germanium, etc. Different detectors act differently at different wavelengths. For example Contact us
Ophir laser power sensors have a smart head which allows for complete plug-and-play, where any sensor works with any meter. The smart head stores all the sensor settings (such as calibration information) so they are saved even when using a different power meter. Contact us
Thermal laser power sensors have various coatings used to absorb the laser heat. Each coating has its own absorption per wavelength graph which means that each coating also has its own range of calibrated wavelengths. Contact us
Usually, laser measurement focuses on power or energy, (or both). In some cases, however, the total energy exposure needs to be measured. Exposure means the sum of all the energy that hits the target (be it metal, electronic wafer, or human skin). Two common cases where exposure is key are medical lasers and photolithography. In…
Sometimes you may need a longer-than-standard distance between your laser power/energy meter and your sensor. In this video, you will learn about the various solutions available from Ophir for this. Contact us
Systems integrators often need to control an Ophir instrument from within their own system. In this video, you will learn of various solutions for integrating Ophir measurement capabilities with legacy analysis packages. Contact us
Ultraviolet excimer lasers are important for many applications: primarily medical and photolithography, but not exclusively. Measuring them, however, is not always so simple. We recently encountered a company that needed to know how evenly their excimer laser beam was distributed in space. They tried imaging their beam with specialized ultraviolet cameras, but all they got…
If you use a laser seriously you probably already know that just because you turn the knob up to 100 W, there’s no guarantee that the laser is outputting 100 W of power. First, why should you calibrate your laser? Contact us
The new StarLite power/energy meter is an economical instrument that supports all our newest lines of standard sensors. This video shows you how easy it is to use. Contact us
There are lots of tips and tricks for ensuring top performance of your laser power meter and sensor, but I want to share just one easy (and free) trick to make sure your power meter is always running in tip-top shape. Contact us
