Does power density damage threshold really change with power? Shouldn’t it remain the same throughout the whole power range? In this video you’ll learn why the specified damage threshold does indeed depend on the power level, and not just on power density.

Medical devices have to be accurate.
Often, there are regulations about how accurate the medical laser system must be. Whether there are regulations or not, the main concern is the health of the patient.
We must be absolutely sure the laser and system are calibrated and accurate, so they will heal the patience, instead of causing an unfortunate accident.
As you design the laser aspect of your medical device, there are a few things you should think about to make sure the laser measurement sensor will be accurate and will continue to remain as accurate as it should be.

You might not need something for months, but when you need it, you need it yesterday.
So the saying goes for start-ups, but I expect it holds true for all companies.
The problem is, you aren’t just buying off-the-shelf sensors and figuring out where to stick them into your medical device. You need a custom solution.
Custom solutions take time to design, by definition.

With high power lasers, there’s always a safety concern for equipment and people nearby.
(Of course, I’m not qualified to give a detailed analysis of what needs to be taken into account for laser safety. For that, you should consult a laser safety officer.)
I want to specifically ask whether there’s an issue of laser light reflecting off power measuring equipment.
