Request InfoMKS Ophir, Light & MeasurementANDOVER, Mass., Dec. 27, 2017 — The Ophir LBS-300s from MKS Instruments Inc. is a compact, portable laser beam splitter for handling small beam diameters and a wide range of powers. The LBS-300s measures laser beams with diameters up to 15 mm and powers from 10 mW to 400 W. It is designed with a shorter distance from the input surface to the camera array to accommodate finding focus spots with shorter working distances. This makes the LBS-300s ideal for enclosed workstations, such as micromachining, microwelding and medical device manufacturing. The LBS-300s allows users to control and adjust laser beam output...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Nov/Dec 2022 IssueBeam Profiling CameraThe Ophir SP504S Beam Profiling Camera from MKS Instruments Inc. measures large and divergent beams by accurately capturing and analyzing wavelengths from 340 to 1100 nm for beam sizes from 45...Photonics Spectra September 2023 IssueBeam Profiling SystemThe Ophir® BeamWatch® Plus noncontact beam profiling system from MKS Instruments Inc. is designed for measuring focus shift, focus spot size, and position of high-power industrial lasers...Vision Spectra Autumn 2023 IssueSWIR LensThe Ophir® SWIR and NIR 25-250 mm f/5.5 (NFOV) f/4.0 wide-field-of-view continuous zoom lens from MKS Instruments Inc. is a compact, rugged device for 5- and 10-µm SXGA and 15-µm VGA...Vision Spectra Summer 2023 IssueSwir LensThe Ophir LightIR 10-135 mm and 18-225 mm MWIR f/3.6 continuous zoom lenses from MKS Instruments Inc. are compact, high-performance, motorized continuous zoom lenses.
