Wilmington, MA, August 2004…Ophir Optronics, Inc., an international leader in laser measurement equipment, announces the release of the Model 30(150) A-SV Volume absorbing detector head. The Model 30(150) A-SV is intended to be used for very hard to measure beams that have extremely high power and energy density.

The Model 30(150)A-SV's damage threshold for power density is 100KW/cm² and its damage threshold for energy density for ns pulses is 1J/cm², makes it the ideal meter to handle concentrated laser beams that previously could not be measured. It can measure up to 30W continuously and 150W intermittently. The Ophir Model 30(150)A-SV detector is designed with an extremely high damage threshold for average power and single pulses.

Additional features of the Ophir Model 30(150) A-SV include a spectral range of 0.19 - 12µm; a power range of 50mW-150W; and an energy range of 50mJ-200J. Ophir's products are used in a wide variety of fields, including medical, industrial and research. More information on the Model 30(150) S-V detector head and Ophir's complete line of Thermal Heads can be found in their new, 2004 catalog or by visiting the Ophir web site. All Ophir's Thermal, Photodiode and Pyroelectric detectors are compatible with Ophir's displays - Nova, Nova II, Orion, and Laserstar. .
