Power Sensors
The LASNIX power sensors use a record fast thermopile and an integrating cavity that accepts 50 W c.w. input. Incoming laser radiation is diffused in the cavity before it reaches the thermopile; thus the response is highly independent of the beam shape and polarization.
The response time of 1/100 sec. is much shorter than in any traditional power meter. No battery is required. The output is true d.c. analog and reads into any multimeter, scope or ADC board.
Applications:
- fast beam power monitoring
- fast process analysis
- process control
- power stabilization
