Wilmington, MA, September 2004…Ophir Optronics, Inc., leaders in advanced technology for the measurement of laser power, energy, beam profile and wavelength, introduces the new, Comet 10K-HD laser power probe.

The Comet 10K-HD probe was designed to measure high power outputs up to 10KW from CO2, YAG and Diode industrial laser sources. The Comet 10K-HD contains a conical probe design for maximum high damage threshold. It is simple to use, economical and highly accurate. It provides absolute calibration accuracy of 5%; repeatability is ±1% for same initial temperature; and linearity with power is ±2% from 1KW to 10KW.

The Comet 10K-HD comes with a swivel mount that rotates ±90 degrees for ease-of- use. It has the ability to measure your laser using an automatic or a manual measurement mode depending on whether you have a timed shutter on your laser. The Comet 10K-HD has a sophisticated algorithm to take into account the heat loss due to the Comet's temperature and thus can give accurate readings even if the Comet is hot before the measurement. This feature allows the user to take several measurements before cooling the probe with water.
