Measuring Laser Power Above 100 kW? How Is It Done?

Measuring Laser Power Above 100 kW? How Is It Done?

Laser systems operating above 100 kilowatts are no longer futuristic but measuring them accurately and safely is still a major engineering challenge.

To meet this need, Ophir Photonics developed a 150 kW water-cooled calorimetric sensor designed for ultra-high-power laser applications such as industrial cutting and drilling, high-power fiber laser testing, and directed energy systems.

In the video, we show:

  • How extreme laser power is safely absorbed and dissipated
  • How calorimetric measurement works using water temperature and flow
  • Key performance highlights, including ultra-low back reflection and fast response time
  • How the system integrates with standard Ophir meters and software

Watch the video to see how ultra-high-power laser measurement works in practice:
