Watch: How to Measure Low Power, Slowly Pulsing Beams (“Low Frequency Power”)
Are you trying to measure a low-power, slowly pulsing beam (think of a VCSEL beam for example) – and getting frustrated? Measuring low-power, slowly pulsing beams using photodiode sensors can be surprisingly tricky. Learn about the technical challenges you’ll face when trying to measure such beams, and about the Ophir solutions that will help you.…

How to Use LabVIEW to Automate Measurement of High Frequency VCSEL
When measuring high frequency sources, one usually must decide whether they need to know the average power or the temporal pulse shape. Use a precision photodiode to measure average power, but a very fast photodiode must be used for pulse shape characterization. Ophir’s IS1.5-VIS-FPD800 sensor integrates both types of photodiode so you can measure average…
