Ariel Ultra-CompacT Laser Power Meter
Ophir® Ariel is a self-contained, ultra-compact laser power meter for measuring high power industrial lasers up to 8KW. Designed for OEM and end-user applications in closed and confined spaces, such as additive manufacturing, metal cutting, and welding, it is a robust, battery-powered device that requires no water or fan cooling and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The system measures laser powers from 200mW to 8KW, and a wide range of wavelengths: 440-550nm green and blue lasers, popular in copper welding; 900-1100nm fiber lasers, used in metal processing; 10.6µm CO2 lasers; and 2.94µm medical lasers.
70K-W Ultra-High Power Laser Sensor
The 70K-W Ultra-High Power Laser Sensor is an efficient solution for measuring ultra-high power levels up to 70 kW with high accuracy and dependable performance. This water-cooled, calorimetric sensor measures powers from 2 kW to 70 kW across the spectral range of 900 - 1100 nm and 10.6 µm. The lightweight design and multiple interfaces – including Ethernet and RS232 – for communication, analog output, and real-time laser power monitoring output, allow easy integration into various industrial and defense applications, such as high-power fiber laser development and testing, industrial cutting, and directed energy systems
BeamSquared SP204S-PRO M2 Analyzer
The Ophir® BeamSquared SP204S-PRO M2 analyzer is a precision beam caustic and profiling system for advanced laser manufacturing in semiconductor, display manufacturing, medical systems, defense, and industrial applications. A compact, fully automated tool, it quickly and accurately measures the propagation characteristics of standard and large diameter CW and pulsed lasers with extended Rayleigh ranges (up to 40 meters). The BeamSquared SP204S-PRO M2 analyzer is designed for manufacturers in high-precision production environments that need precise characterization of key beam parameters, including M2, waist position, astigmatism, and beam symmetry.
Helios Pro industrial Power Meter
The Ophir® Helios Pro industrial power meter is a robust, compact device for measuring high-power lasers, including diode, fiber, and Nd:YAG, with power ranges from 100W to 12kW, and wavelengths from 450-550nm (blue/green) to 900-1100nm (infrared). It can monitor pulse shape during measurement and compensate for the effects of slow pulse rise time; this means the meter delivers accurate measurements even when the laser does not have a sharp rise/fall time. It also provides a fast 3s response time, a short 12s wait between consecutive measurements at maximum energy, and has the ability to make multiple measurements before device cool-down.
