Ophir Technical Resources

Ophir provides extensive resources to help you get the answers you need wherever you are. Ophir resources include:

Laser Measurement Tools

• Power Density Calculator
  Use this calculator to determine the power density and/or fluence (energy density) of your laser beam.
• Laser Peak Power Calculator
  Use this calculator to determine the peak power of your laser beam.
• Laser Power Through Aperture Calculator (Gaussian Beam)
  This is a simple calculator to see how much of the laser beam will pass through a given aperture.
• Laser Focal Spot Size Calculator
  Use this calculator to get the size and location of your Gaussian laser beam waist at focus, as well as the Rayleigh range.
• Laser Focusability Calculator
  Determine your laser's diffraction-limited focal spot size, assuming an ideal lens without aberrations and a collimated laser beam.
• Temperature Rise Calculator
  This calculator determines the temperature increase in a block of aluminum (like most Ophir power sensors).
• NanoScan Damage Threshold Calculator
  A downloadable spreadsheet to calculate nanoscan damage threshold.
