Request InfoMKS Ophir, Light & MeasurementNORTH LOGAN, Utah, Feb. 12, 2015 — The 120K-W Laser Power Meter from Ophir Photonics is a commercial sensor for measuring very high-power fiber, IR and Nd:YAG 120-kW lasers. It measures beams at a distance past the focal spot or at a distance from the diverging fiber output where the beam has expanded to about 100 mm in diameter. The meter consists of a 50-cm-diameter beam dump and a water-flow power measurement unit of 11 × 15 × 34 cm. It is designed for heavy-duty applications such as deep penetration welding, drilling and cutting large products in the field, metal forming and military directed energy.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 4/26/2022Laser Power SensorThe Ophir® IPM-10KW laser power sensor from MKS Instruments Inc. delivers high accuracy and repeatable measurements in rough production environments.
