		<description><![CDATA[We often are asked about measuring the power of widely diverging beams and how to do so. First of all, Ophir has integrating sphere power meters designed for divergent beams of up to +/-40 degrees divergence. These are the 3A-IS and 3A-IS-IRG power meters. These power meters are primarily for low power beams of under [...]]]></description>

The only technology that can be used to measure powers which are lower than a few microwatts is photodiode sensors. Photodiodes are sensitive to extremely low power levels, as low as picowatts.The spectral [...]]]></description>

Many of Ophir’s OEM power sensors have a maximum average power specification of “XX watts free standing, YY watts heat sinked”. How does one make [...]]]></description>
