To effectively control increasing number and diversity of industrial tasks now performed by lasers, manufacturers must ensure that their lasers fire at the correct power. But to date, there has been ...

NIST researchers have developed a compact, high-accuracy, point-of-use high-power laser power meter in the form of a folding mirror called “Smart Mirror,” making in-situ, real-time measurement of ...

For a quick and easy way of determining both wavelength and output power of low power lasers, WAVEPOWER, from LASER COMPONENTS, is an efficient and user friendly tool. As a useful complementary ...

The U.S. military can now calibrate high-power laser systems, such as those intended to defuse unexploded mines, more quickly and easily thanks to a novel nanotube-coated power measurement device ...

Coherent announced the launch of FieldMax Touch and FieldMax Touch Pro, a new family of compact, rugged laser power and energy meters designed to bring lab-grade performance into production and field ...

Researchers have been developing a laser power sensor that could be built into manufacturing devices for real-time measurements in many manufacturing processes, from welding car parts to crafting ...

Engineers know that measuring dc or low-frequency electrical power is fairly straightforward, but such measurements become more difficult as you go up the spectrum into the tens-of-gigahertz range.

Fig 1. The MEMS pressure sensor detects the tensile stress on a thin silicon membrane that changes the piezo-resistance of elements on the membrane’s surface. Fig 2. The MEMS sensor’s piezo-resistive ...

Researchers have developed a smaller, faster and more sensitive laser power meter in the form of a folding mirror they call a 'smart mirror.' High-power lasers are now widely used in additive ...
