Coherent Enables Precision Measurement Of Excimer Laser Energy

Santa Clara, CA — A new laser measurement tool from Coherent, Inc. provides direct access to the output signal from any EnergyMax Series laser energy sensor. Specifically, the J-Power is a compact accessory that powers the EnergyMax active sensor circuitry and sends the raw output voltage signal directly to a BNC connector. This allows the user to take full advantage of the sensor's high linearity, low noise internal amplifier, along with its built in temperature compensation feature, but in a highly streamlined configuration. For maximum convenience, the J-Power can operate using either an AC adapter or internal, rechargeable batteries.

For laboratory users, the J-Power enables EnergyMax sensor output to be displayed on an oscilloscope, without the need for a meter. This permits the user to perform direct measurement of pulse energy, even at very high repetition rates. The J-Power also allows OEMs to utilize their own analog-to-digital conversion circuitry, thus eliminating the cost and space requirements of separate meter electronics.

Founded in 1966, Coherent, Inc. is a world leader in providing laser-based solutions to the commercial and scientific research markets.
