Request InfoMKS Ophir, Light & MeasurementIntroduced by Ophir-Spiricon LLC, Juno is a smart USB sensor-to-PC interface that converts a laptop or desktop PC into a laser power/ energy meter. It connects any of the company’s smart laser sensors (thermal, pyroelectic, photodiode) to a PC USB port and operates with proprietary StarLab software that logs power and energy, and calculates and displays averages, statistics, line plots, bar charts and histograms. Data can be displayed graphically or saved in text format and exported to an Excel spreadsheet. The system records every energy pulse at up to 10 KHz. Juno is a plug-and-play...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra July 2023 IssueImage DetectorThe SWIFT-EI image detector from SemiConductor Devices Ltd. enables SWIR capabilities for small and large distribution defense systems, as well as commercial, machine vision, and industrial...Photonics Spectra December 2022 IssueSmart SensorThe LOM sensor series from OptoMotive Ltd. consists of customizable, user-programmable high-speed laser triangulation sensors based on field-programmable gate array camera technology.
