The Ophir® FluxGage™ 604 series is a compact measurement system featuring four additional color sensors that are evenly arranged in the bottom of the device delivering further x, y, and CCT data besides the illuminance. The system provides an overview of the color and overall uniformity of the measured light in seconds, allowing for the direct evaluation of LED chips or optical assemblies used for color mixing and beam shaping.
The Ophir® L40(500)A-LP2-DIF-35 is a compact, high damage threshold laser power/energy sensor capable of measuring up to 4kW without the need for water cooling. The Ophir® L40(500)A-LP2-DIF-35 can measure CW lasers up to 500W and pulsed lasers up to 2kJ. The compact design makes it easy to place between optical components when troubleshooting a beam path. The sensor can handle large, unfocused beams of 35mm diameter, as well as narrow, high density beams down to 1mm @ 1kW.
The Ophir® LBS-300HP-NIR Beam Splitter is a compact device designed to deliver extremely high-power density attenuation for beams up to 15 MW/cm2 at 5 kW in high power NIR lasers. With the ability to transmit 99.9999 percent of the incident NIR beam, the beam splitter can accurately measure beam shape, focal spot, beam waist, and overall power.
SCHOTT offers a series of high-performance glass-based diffusers designed to radiate laser light extremely homogeneously and efficiently (more than 80%) for more effective medical treatments. They are offered with various diffuser geometries, including cylindrical, front emitting, spherical, and other special shapes.
The Ophir IS6-D family of 6” integrating spheres (5.3” inside) is for use with divergent (D) beams. These instruments have no detectors, where the detection configuration for IS6-D spheres are done by the user. They can also be used as uniform light sources.
The Ophir® L2000W-PF-120 is a water-cooled Laser Power/Energy Sensor designed for measuring large pulsed lasers. This thermal sensor measures powers from 1 W to 200 W and energies form 6 J to 6000 J over the spectral range of 0.3 µm to 2.2 µm. The sensor features a large 120 m aperture to accommodate for high energy densities and short pulses.
The Ophir® SP1201 and SP1203 are compact, InGaAs camera-based beam profiling systems designed specifically for real-time viewing and measuring of the optical performance of laser beams. The SP1201 features a QVGA resolution InGaAs camera, and the SP1203 features a high-resolution VGA InGaAs camera, both for high sensitivity imaging.
The Ophir® SP920 USB 3.0 Silicon CCD High Resolution Beam Profiling Camera is designed to accurately capture and analyze wavelengths from 190 nm – 1100 nm, with enhanced sensitivity at 1070 nm. The camera features a wide dynamic range, excellent signal to noise ratio, USB 3.0 interface, and BeamGage® beam analysis software. It is ideal for measuring CW and pulsed laser profiles in such high-speed applications as medical imaging, microscopy, or micromachining.
