How can I communicate with an Ophir laser Power Meter using a Linux machine?

By Jonathan Feust / Laser Power & Energy Meters, Laser Power & Energy Sensors, Ophir Photonics Groups / May 9,2018

Let’s say the computers used in your laser environment happen to use Linux as an operating system, and you want to integrate the laser measurements from an Ophir laser power meter into your Linux computer system, preferably via USB communication. Here’s how you can make it happen quickly and easily:

Increase Production Quality and Efficiency by Measuring with Ophir’s Helios Laser Power Meter

StarLab 3.30 Pass/Fail limits feature – A closer look

By Jonathan Feust / Laser Power & Energy Meters, Laser Power & Energy Sensors, Ophir Photonics Groups / Oct 25,2017

User-defined pass/fail limits allow setting the upper and lower bounds of an acceptable measurement, and getting a clear indication when the measurement deviates from these bounds.

In case you weren’t aware -The ‘pass/fail’ feature can be used as a tool to perform QA final inspection on the laser. Developers can use this to demonstrate the results of a prototype laser to Management (or even VC’s!) as part of the pitch for funding.

Finding the center of the NanoScan

By Justin Yates / FAQ's, Laser Beam Profilers, Ophir Photonics Groups / Oct 11,2017

Finding the mechanical location of your laser beam can be important in some applications.

Using a NanoScan (Scanning Slit Beam Profiling) you can find a mechanical location of the center of your beam by following these steps:

Recalibrating Your Laser Power Meter for Long-Term Accuracy and Reliability

By OphirBlog / FAQ's, Laser Power & Energy Meters, Laser Power & Energy Sensors, News, Ophir Photonics Groups / Mar 23,2017

We’d all like to imagine that our things will stay in mint condition forever. But we know that’s not the case. Just like laser degrade (and therefore must be measured), the measurement equipment itself will slowly drift away from its precise calibration.

This is why we recommend yearly calibration. If you aren’t sure when your laser power or energy is due for recalibration, you can check by connecting it to a meter. If it needs to be recalibrated, a notification will pop up on the first screen.

Here’s how the recalibration process works.
