Ophir Expands Beamtrack Laser Sensor Line

By DE Editors

Ophir Photonics announced the newest member of the BeamTrack family, the 1000W-BB-34-Quad. BeamTrack is a series of compact, multi-function thermal detectors that measure laser power, energy, beam position, and in some models beam size, in one device. The new, high-power 1000W-BB-34-Quad measures power and position up to 1000W.

According to the company, BeamTrack sensors allow users to measure power, position, size (PPS), energy, centering, and wander in a single device. Sensors are available with a range of aperture sizes, from 12mm to 50mm. The broadband absorbers of the detectors can measure a spectral range from 150nm to 20 µm.

The 1000W-BB-34-Quad measures laser power from 15W to 1000W, and energy from 300mJ to 300J. Beam position is accurate to 0.5 mm. Beam position can be logged to record beam wander.

All BeamTrack sensors feature a "Smart Connector" interface that operates with Ophir's StarLite, Nova II, and Vega smart displays, and Juno PC interface. The display is automatically configured and calibrated when plugged into one of the company's laser measurement heads.
