Request InfoMRC Systems GmbHMRC Systems GmbH has introduced a beam position monitor that enables real-time measurement of laser beams via a four-quadrant diode with fast readout electronics. The signals can be viewed directly with an oscilloscope where the X-Y representations yield a clear picture of the beam position. The monitor achieves temporal resolution of up to 100 kHz, enabling inspection and documentation of the positions of single laser pulses. Spatial resolution is in the submicron range, depending on the size and profile of the measured beam. The active sensor area measures 10 × 10 mm, and the X and Y...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra November 2023 IssueMiniature IR Sensor ModulesThe dual-lens TSMP95000 and single-lens TSMP96000 and TSMP98000 from Vishay Intertechnology are miniaturized infrared (IR) sensor modules for remote control systems that combine a wide supply voltage...Photonics.com 5/18/2023Automotive Image SensorsHyperlux™ automotive image sensors from onsemi feature a 2.1-µm pixel size, a 150-dB high dynamic range, and LED flicker mitigation across the full automotive temperature range.
