Recent updates and news in the world of power and energy measurements
Ophir’s Laser peak power calculator can provide a good estimation for the peak power and peak power density of a pulsed laser. These estimates can be very useful when choosing the right optical elements and suitable sensors for your system without the need to fully characterize the laser pulses.
The Centauri power meter has the best of both worlds. It’s not a full PC of course, but has nearly the same feature set as our StarLab software, with a large, 7” touch screen.

Meet Ophir’s “Scope Adapter” for Pyroelectric sensors. The adapter connects between the sensor & the meter. A BNC connector carries an analog voltage signal that represents the energy of each pulse, at up to the maximum pulse rate that the sensor can respond to, without being limited by the maximum pulse rate of the meter.
