Coherent Inc. has extended is series of large-area, high-speed PowerMax-Pro laser detectors to enable power measurement of continuous-wave laser beams of 3- and 5-kW peak power with modulated laser beams.
PowerMax-Pro detectors combine the broad wavelength sensitivity, dynamic range and laser damage resistance of a thermopile with the response speed of a semiconductor photodiode. The new PowerMax-Pro kW models will be particularly useful for materials processing applications based on high power fiber lasers, CO
2 lasers and solid-state lasers including welding, cutting, drilling and engraving. Traditional thermopile detectors typically take at least 60 seconds to deliver a stable kilowatt power reading. PowerMax-Pro accomplishes this measurement within microseconds with no overshoot.
The devices deliver significant time savings for engineers, production and quality assurance staff, enabling improved process monitoring and increased process throughput when these detectors are built into systems.
