Ophir Photonics has announced a line of High Power Fan Cooled Laser Sensors: FL1100A-BB-65, FL600A-BB-65, and FL600A-LP1-65. The sensors are compact devices that can measure laser power levels up to 1100W with no need for water cooling - almost twice the power of competitive devices. The sensors feature a 65mm aperture, and can measure laser power between 600mW and 1100W and energy from 250mJ to 600J.

The High Power Fan Cooled Thermal Sensors are available in three models. The FL600A-BB-65, for general purpose measurements, with broadband absorber, measures power from 600mW-600W. The FL600A-LP1-65 for long pulses, with the LP1 absorber, operates from 1-600W. The FL1100A-BB-65 with broadband absorber is specified for the highest power, measuring from 600mW to 1100W.

All Ophir thermal sensors feature a ‘Smart Connector’ interface that operates with the company's StarLite, Nova II, and Vega smart displays, and Juno PC interface. The display is automatically configured and calibrated when plugged into one of the company's laser measurement heads.

“Traditionally, high power laser sensors require water cooling,” said Ephraim Greenfield, CTO, Ophir Photonics. “The FL1100A and FL600A thermal sensors are designed with highly efficient fan cooling that is able to handle the higher powers. This eliminates the troublesome necessity of fixed water lines and the possibility of contaminated water or corroded sensors. The end result is increased flexibility and ease of use.”

The High Power Fan Cooled Thermal Sensors are available now. OEM pricing is available on request.
