LaserPoint has recently introduced the fastest commercially available thermal high-speed laser energy sensor (named “BLINK High Speed”, patented) based on the laser LITV effect. Measurements up to 1MHz repetition rate, in ns-IR, fs-IR, ns-UV and ps-UV regimes with pulse energies ranging from 0.25 µJ to 10 mJ demonstrated the unique property of this sensor: direct pulse energy measurement of each single pulse from ultrafast laser is now possible at very high repetition rate!
