Test and Measurement

Ophir-Spiricon has released the latest version of its high power, scanning slit beam profiler, NanoScan 2s

Ophir Photonics Group, global leader in precision laser measurement equipment and a Newport Corporation company, has released a new version of BeamWatch, a non-contact beam monitoring system for high power lasers

A new transmission tester for inline and offline laser welding operations has been launched by LPKF. The LPKF TMG 3 transmission tester quickly determines the transmission properties of welding partners, ensuring that faults are detected earlier in the processing chain.

During transmission laser welding, the laser beam passes through the upper, laser-transmissive joining partner to pass its welding energy on to the underlying, laser-absorbing joining partner. A moderate joining pressure aids thermal transmission, and produces a clean and reliable weld seam.

Ophir Photonics has released a line of high-power fan-cooled laser sensors: FL1100A-BB-65, FL600A-BB-65, and FL600A-LP1-65. The sensors are compact devices that can measure very high laser power levels from 600mW to 1,100W and energy from 250mJ to 600J with no need for water cooling. The sensors feature a large, 65mm aperture.

greenTEG launches its gRAY laser power detector line for fast, accurate and wavelength-independent measurements. The gRAY line comprises of housed and mounted detectors as well as bare die components

Ophir Photonics has expanded its BeamWatch family of industrial laser beam profilers. The company has also released a laser power meter for measuring very high power 120kW lasers.

Gentec Electro-Optics has launched two models in its Beam Dumps family of laser power detectors. The BD series is rugged and easy-to-use, simply attach the water-cooling and the device is ready to use.

Like the company’s high power HP detectors, these beam dumps have a highly resistant absorber that can withstand several kilowatts of laser power in continuous mode. The device’s aperture of 100mm in diameter accommodates large beams. An isolation tube (available as an option) helps reduce back reflection; two models are offered: 4kW and 12kW.

Ophir Photonics, global leader in precision laser measurement equipment and a Newport Corporation brand, today announced a new system for narrowband optical power measurement, the 3A-IS Optical Power Sensor and AUX-LED Self-Absorption Accessory. The 3A-IS is a compact, easy-to-use integrating sphere and photodiode sensor system. It is designed to measure the optical power of divergent, narrowband light sources from 350nm­-1100nm, such as lasers and LEDs. The AUX-LED is an accessory for the 3A-IS that corrects the effects of self-absorption.

Rofin has unveiled the VisionPerfoControl, a device for real-time monitoring of perforation quality.

Until now it has been difficult to monitor and ensure that micro holes of consistent quality and diameter have been laser perforated. Typically these holes have diameters less than 120 microns while the packaging film moves with some 100-400 m/min.

Ophir Photonics, global leader in precision laser measurement equipment and a Newport Corporation brand, has announced the F-PE80BF-DIF-C, the newest member of Ophir's PE-C line of pyroelectric pulsed sensors ­ compact devices that provide the industry's lowest measurable energy, longest measurable pulse width, and highest accuracy.
