  1. Ophir Announces Photodiode Sensor For Measuring Power Of Laser Bar Code Scanners And Laser Printer Scanners 5/3/2016

    Ophir Photonics Group recently announced the BC20-V1 laser sensor for measuring the power of scanned or intermittent beams. The BC20-V1 is a photodiode sensor that measures any wavelength over the spectral range of 400 – 1100nm. It is the only product on the market that is capable of measuring the power of laser bar code scanners; it also measures laser printer scanners and the peak power of pulsed mode lasers. 

  2. Ophir Photonics Announces Ethernet Adapter For OEM Smart Laser Systems 2/24/2016

    Ophir Photonics Groupannounced at SPIE Photonics West 2016 announced the new EA-1 Ethernet Adapter, a device that connects Ophir's smart laser sensors directly to an Ethernet bus, no PC connection required. The EA-1 is designed for OEMs who need Ethernet connectivity and want to control the sensor via their own custom software.

  3. Ophir Photonics Announces Low Noise, High Sensitivity Radiometer For Measuring Powers Down To 300fW 2/17/2016

    Ophir Photonics Group announces at SPIE Photonics West 2016 the RM9-PD Radiometer, a sensor for measuring the power of very low level CW or quasi CW sources. The RM9-PD integrates a photodiode sensor and an 18Hz chopper into an easy-to-use system that measures very low powers, and is calibrated over the entire range of wavelengths, from 0.2µm to 1.1µm.

  4. Ophir-Spiricon Introduces M2 Beam Propagation Software For Pyrocam™ Pyroelectric Laser Beam Profiling Cameras 2/17/2016

    Ophir Photonics announced at SPIE Photonics West 2016 the new M2 Beam Propagation software for the Pyrocam™ family of pyroelectric laser beam profiling cameras. Designed for measuring laser quality, the software incorporates M2calculations that predict how a laser will focus and beam propagation parameters (BPP) that describe how the laser diverges as a function of the beam waist width.

  5. Ophir Photonics Announces Starviewer, Mobile App For Viewing Laser Power/Energy Measurements On Smartphones And Tablets 2/17/2016

    Ophir Photonics announced at SPIE Photonics West 2016 a new Android app that brings laser power/energy measurements to Android smartphones and tablets called StarViewer. StarViewer can be used with virtually any Ophir thermopile, photodiode, or pyroelectric PE-C laser sensor. Data can be displayed in a variety of formats: time-based line graph, needle display, or large numeric display with statistics.

  6. Ophir Photonics Announces High Damage Threshold Sensor for Measuring Low Average Power Pulsed Lasers 12/21/2015

    Ophir Photonics Group announced today the release of the 3A-PF-12 thermal power/energy laser measurement sensor for short pulsed lasers. The new sensor replaces the P type absorber with the high damage threshold PF type, giving it the industry's highest energy density damage threshold for repetitive pulses.

  7. Ophir Photonics Announces Laser Sensors That Measure High Laser Powers Without Water Cooling 12/7/2015

    Ophir Photonics recently announced the release of four new thermal laser sensors designed for measuring high pulse energies without needing large, water-cooled devices.
