PC Software & Drivers

This section describes various ways to interface the Ophir meter to your PC as well as the software options available. Check out the datasheet for more details.


StarLab

The StarLab application together with an Ophir meter turns your PC or laptop into a full-fledged laser power/energy meter. Supports most Ophir laser power/energy sensors. Up to 8 sensors can be displayed at once on one PC. By using the Ophir COM Object, you can control the device from your own application. Supports the Ariel, Centauri, StarBright, StarLite, Juno, Juno+, Nova II, Vega, Pulsar-1/2/4, Quasar, EA-1 and Ariel devices.


StarViewer

StarViewer turns your Android or iOS based smartphone into a portable Ophir laser power / energy measurement monitor.
The iOS version of StarViewer works with Ariel sensor.
The Android version of StarViewer works with Ariel, as well as with Juno and Quasar interfaces.

Features

Ariel, Ultra-Compact "All in One" Sensor Overview

Designed for OEM and end-user applications in closed and confined spaces, such as additive manufacturing, metal cutting, and welding, the Ariel power meter is a robust, battery-powered device that requires no water or fan cooling and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The system measures laser powers from 200 mW to 8 kW, and at a wide range of wavelengths, including 440-550nm green and blue lasers, increasingly popular in copper welding.

Choosing a Thermal Sensor

In this short “Basics” video we review the use – and selection - of thermal sensors for measuring low, medium and high laser powers.

Measuring Very High Power Laser Beams

Laser beams with powers of many tens of Kilowatts are becoming more and more common in today's applications, industrial as well as research. This video will discuss the technical challenges in measuring such lasers, and will show you a range of solutions now available from Ophir for measuring up to 100KW -- safely, and accurately.
