LaserPoint offers a broad portfolio of thermal sensors for the precise measurement of Laser power and laser energy in research, development, and industrial applications. The detector heads are suitable for various laser systems and cover a broad spectral range from UV to far infrared from.
The measuring principle of thermal sensors enables the reliable characterization of both continuous and pulsed laser sources. Depending on power, energy, wavelength, beam diameter, and power density, different sensor concepts and absorbers are available.
Sensors for Different Power Ranges
Selection of the appropriate laser power sensor
For a reliable measurement, the sensor must be matched to the respective laser source and measurement task. Crucial factors in particular are Wavelength, maximum laser power or pulse energy, beam diameter, power or energy density, pulse duration and repetition rate.
At higher power levels, cooling and thermal load capacity also play an important role. LaserPoint offers sensors with passive cooling for this purpose, as well as—depending on the model—convection, fan, or water cooling.
Traceable calibration and reproducible measurement results
The laser power and energy sensors are supplied with a calibration certificate. The calibration is traceable to recognized standards of NIST or PTB traceable and enables reliable and reproducible measurements even in demanding applications.
For integration into laboratory setups, production equipment, and automated test systems, various interfaces are available depending on the version, including DB15 connectors, as well as USB and RS-232 interfaces.
Typical applications
- Characterization of laser sources
