1

• Whats new 2008

2
What Power Ranges Can I Measure?

• From pW to kW
• Cooling schemes
• Convection cooled
• Fan cooled
• Water cooled
• From 193 nm to 20 µm

3
What if I want ENERGY?

• Pyroelectric Technology
• Crystal Lattice expands and contracts in response
  to laser pulses
• This creates an electrical signal that is
  proportional to energy

4
What Energy Ranges Can I Measure?

• From 10 pJ to 40 J
• Up to 20,000 Hz Pulse Rate
• From ms to fs pulse duration
• ALL VALUES ARE INTERRELATED!
• Need to carefully select correct head for your
  application
• There IS a maximum power limit!

5
Types of Pyroelectric Heads

• Vary by Size of Detector Crystal
• 9 mm to 100 mm diameter
• Vary by Type of Coating
• Metallic
• BroadBand
• Some Have Diffusers or Splitters
• Extends power range

6
What about High Power Energy?

• RP Heads- The Only Solution
• Patented Design Allows High Energy Measurement at
  High Power
• Ranges up to 1500 W
• Read Energy of High Power Pulsed Lasers

7
What About Special Applications?

• Bar Code Scanners?
• Vacuum Applications?
• Fiber Optics?
• Integrating Spheres?
• OEM Heads?
• ALL OF THESE AND MORE!

15
Why Perform Laser Beam Monitoring?

• The Leading Indicator of a Degrading Laser is
  Deterioration of the Beam Profile!
• Quantitative Measurement of Laser Beam
  Characteristics
• Record of Laser Beam Characteristics
• Identify Problems Quickly
• Reduce Scrap
• Increase Productivity

16

• The most Productive way to get CONSISTENT
  performance
• from your Laser is to Monitor the Beam Profile!

How Do We Profile a Beam?

• BLOCK DIAGRAM OF TYPICAL LASER BEAM ANALYZER
  SYSTEM
• Laser Sampling Beam
  Detection Beam Analysis

18
Simple Beam Profiling Checklist

• What is the average power of the laser?
• What is the wavelength of the laser?
• What is the width of the laser beam?
• Pulsed or CW?
• What quantitative information do I need to
  characterize the beam? Beam width, shape,
  position, pointing stability)

19
