Water-cooled high-power laser sensor for measuring very high power lasers introduced by MKS Instruments
ANDOVER, Mass. – MKS Instruments Inc. in Andover, Mass., is introducing the Ophir 20K-W high-power laser sensor for measuring very high power lasers.
This water-cooled thermal sensor measures powers from 100 Watts to 20 kilowatts over the spectral range of 800 to 2000 nanometers and 10.6 microns.
A deflecting cone and annular absorber enable the sensor to withstand power densities as high as 10 kilowatts per square centimeter. The sensor delivers a 3.5-second response time, shortening the time required for measurement.
A 55-millimeter aperture is insensitive to beam size or angle of divergence, which means greater flexibility when manipulating beams and more consistent power delivery even when the input beam changes slightly in size or direction.
The laser sensor features safety features that protect the sensor and operators. It features an interlock output that shuts down the laser to protect it from overheating.
