Compact laser sensor handles powers up to 15,000W
Global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, MKS Instruments, has announced the 15K-W-BB-45 from Ophir, a compact, fan-cooled, thermal laser power measurement sensor that handles high powers up to 15,000W. The 15K-W-BB-45 is a high damage threshold sensor that measures continuous laser power from 100-15,000W over the spectral range from 0.8-2µm and 10.6µm.
The sensor features a deflecting cone and annular absorber that withstands high power densities up to 10kW/cm².
Designed for continuous use with high laser powers, the NIST-calibrated 15K-W-BB-45 is highly linear, providing precision readings of power stability over time with no drift. A standard 5m cable is included for connecting to a laser meter or PC interface, such as Ophir's StarBright, Nova II, Vega, and Juno.
Each meter features a 'Smart Connector' interface that automatically configures and calibrates the display when plugged into one of the company's measurements sensors.
