How to Ensure Accuracy of Laser Measurement in Medical Devices

OphirBlog | Jul 8, 2015

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.

How to Design Your Perfect Laser Beam with BeamMaker

BeamMaker helps engineers, technicians, and researchers understand a beam’s modal content by creating a theoretically generated beam. Design your perfect beam profile in BeamMaker by specifying the mode, size, width, height, intensity, angle, and noise content – then configure your laser to run as designed, and compare your actual beam to the theoretically derived measurements. The end result is knowledge about how much the real beam varies from the desired beam.

Worried about High Power (10 kW) Laser Backscatter?

OphirBlog | Jun 3, 2015

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.
