		<description><![CDATA[What is automation? The dictionary defines automation as: “the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate automatically.” We define automation as: “the creation and application of technology to monitor and control your laser system.”  In other words, automation at Ophir means using or creating outside applications to measure your laser.

		<description><![CDATA[Usually, deciding how to measure your laser is a task of sifting through the various providers to find the laser power meter that best fits your needs.  For some lasers, however, the difficulty is not in choosing a power meter, but in finding one at all. High power lasers are a perfect example.  Up to [...]]]></description>

Why does the salesman keep trying to offer me the deluxe pen-knife, complete with compass, GPS and calculator?  I just want the pen to write with.

		<description><![CDATA[There’s been some confusion lately about the “laser” setting on an Ophir power meter.  Joe will ask: “What if my laser isn’t exactly one of the predetermined wavelengths?  Will it still work?”  Amanda says, “Can I set the Nova II to 633nm to check how much of that wavelength is in my broadband light source?” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, even experienced users of laser measurement equipment come across some issues that, although basic, need to be clarified. This video reviews 2 such issues: (1) selection of correct range when it&#8217;s not quite obvious (and what happens if one goes over range), and (2) how long a measurement duration may be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwyS7RYflRE &#160; You [...]]]></description>

Well, I’m glad you asked. I can’t guarantee that you’ll immediately know what a company [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, your laser power is a little high.  No problem, just stick some attenuating filters in to lower the power, right?  Not so fast. In some cases this can cause thermal lensing.  If you’re not familiar with it, thermal lensing basically means the heat of a laser beam can distort the filter medium and create [...]]]></description>
