Ophir Photonics has introduced its NanoModeScan M2 laser beam propagation analyser, enabling quantitative measurement and viewing of high power CO2 laser beams. The system is easy to setup and align; the straight line of sight design means little or no attenuation is required. NanoModeScan is also fast; an M2 measurement can be made in as little as 20 seconds. In addition, the system reports beam waist diameter and location, divergence, and the beam's Rayleigh range for each axis. The NanoModeScan's ease of use and fast update rate (up to 20Hz) make it ideal for CO2 laser-based material processing, machining, and marking applications where laser performance needs to be adjusted in real-time.

In addition, the system reports beam waist diameter and location, divergence, and the beam's Rayleigh range for each axis. The NanoModeScan's ease of use and fast update rate (up to 20Hz) make it good for CO2 laser-based material processing, machining, and marking applications where laser performance needs to be adjusted in real-time. 

The Shock Absorber from Ophir Photonics is a mounting post designed to allow sensitive pyroelectric laser power/energy sensors to operate in an environment with vibration. Pyroelectric energy sensors measure the heat deposited in repetitive laser pulses. The special mount smoothes out vibration and eliminates false triggering, reducing by two to 20 times the sensors’ susceptibility to vibration, according to the company. The Shock Absorber eliminates false signals and leaves intact the sensitivity to good signals. It provides more accurate measurement of the low-energy pulsed lasers that often operate in noisy environments. The company’s products have applications in the medical and research sectors.

Ophir Laser Measurement Group Announces Fast Photodiode Detector for Pulsed Lasers November 8, 2010 - Logan, UT - Ophir Laser Measurement Group, the global leader in precision laser measurement, today announced the FPS-1 Fast Photodetector. Designed to measure the temporal pulse shape of lasers or other light sources, the FPS-1 is a high speed photodiode sensor with wide spectral response. The sensor provides a fast 1ns response time and handles wavelengths from 190nm to 1100nm. 

Ophir Photonics Group has introduced high-damage-threshold power volume absorbers for short-pulsed lasers (<1 μs). The PF sensors absorb a laser’s energy in the volume of the material being used. They make use of a spray deposited on the surface, not the typical glass or ceramic substrate. This means that they provide higher power handling and faster response times. They can handle up to 20 times the power density, up to 3 kW/cm2, and the response time is as fast as 1 s. The series includes four models: the 50(150)A-PF-35 for up to 50-W continuous and 150-W intermittent with a large 35-mm aperture; the 15(50)A-PF-DIF-18 for 15-W continuous and 50-W intermittent; the 50A-PF-DIF-18 for 50-W continuous; and the F100A-PF-DIF-18 for 100-W continuous.

Ophir Photonics, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, recently announced the release of its 2011 Laser Measurement Catalog. The catalog covers a wide range of laser power/energy sensors and meters, and laser beam profiling systems for industrial, defense, medical, and research applications. Designed as a "green" PDF-formatted reference book, the catalog includes tutorials, product data sheets, and technology user guides. The 2011 Catalog also provides an overview of the company's new Sensor Finder software application; it helps users find the best power/energy sensor that is guaranteed to work with their laser under the stated conditions
