Technically, silicon absorbs well down to 350 nm, and could even work at lower wavelengths (to 190 nm).
However,

“You can do Profinet, right?”
John had just ordered 10 laser welding stations for his new car manufacturing facility. As a laser system integrator, you talked to him in detail about all the specs. What exactly does he need from the laser? What sort of control equipment does he have? What else does he need?
John added, almost as an afterthought – “The facility is in Germany, so of course we want all the lasers and devices running on Profinet. You can do that, right?”
Uh-oh.

From its humble beginnings in 1976, Ophir has grown to become the world leader in laser power meters and other laser measurement technology.
I spoke to Ephraim Greenfield, Ophir founder and CTO to get some insights on the origins and progression that Ophir took through the last four decades.
Here’s what he said.
