Have you fallen into the Worst Case Combination Trap?
Let’s say your laser spec gives a range of values for various parameters. Power from X to Y, beam size from this to that…etc.
Unless the “worst case” numbers for all of the laser parameters will really happen together at once, looking for a sensor that could handle that can lead you to some serious overkill.
In this video we present Ophir StarBright, a handheld laser meter. We’ll demonstrate its range of capabilities, and show you exactly how to use them.
Why does measuring your laser beam help you maintain quality processes? In this week’s video, we explain the purpose of measuring your beam with three case studies that illustrate success:
We are honored that our Beam Profiler, BeamWatch AM received the Platinum award which is the highest possible award in the Laser Focus World Innovators Awards this year.
The BeamWatch® AM is an integrated laser measurement system designed to measure critical laser beam parameters for laser-based additive manufacturing systems. Watch the full video here:
Much like a light ball that degrades over time, a laser beam at the work surface has to be maintained and preserved in order to keep it’s high & precise performance.
Why does measuring your laser beam help you maintain quality processes?
Hair removal, skin rejuvenation and even in non-medical unregulated cosmetic applications – No doubt there is a real need to regularly monitor the IPL’s source performance.
Meet Ophir’s new sensor specifically designed for measuring IPL pulses: L40(150)A-IPL.
Ophir’s Helios industrial laser power meter is a compact instrument for measuring high power lasers.
Designed with factory automation in mind,
Choosing the best laser sensor for a particular application can be quite overwhelming.
Ophir has so many sensors! Which is the best one for measuring your laser beam?
The choice actually depends on many parameters. The Ophir Sensor Finder does most of the thinking for you, and helps you choose the right sensor for your application. This video shows you how to use it:
Ophir’s new FluxGage LED Luminaire Test System helps you quickly and easily measure the critical performance parameters of your LED luminaires for optimum production process and quality control.
In this video we’ll see how to set up and use the FluxGage.
Measuring optical signals in the femtowatt (10-15) to nanowatt (10-9) range can be very challenging. Signal levels this low are lost in typical detector noise levels and swamped by background light. The noise floor for photodiode detectors operated with a small bandwidth (~10 Hz) is on the order of 1 picowatt (10-12). Further narrowing of the bandwidth by filtering or averaging will only provide a small additional reduction in the noise level.
