PowerMax from Coherent are sensors for measuring the power of continuous lasers or long pulse lasers. Thermophile sensors use the thermocouple principle, where laser radiation is incident on an absorber layer and converted into heat. An electrical voltage is then generated between this absorber layer and the heat sink.
This series of high power sensors is primarily designed for the measurement of industrial lasers for material processing.
Features
- Very wide spectral range of 0.19 to 11,000 µm
- Aperture up to 200 mm
- Measuring range from 100 W to 5 kW
- Variants with USB or RS-232 interface where no meter is required
- The sensors are compatible with LabMax-Pro, LabMax-TOP/TO, FieldMaxII-TOP/TO/P and FieldMate meters.
- Water/liquid cooled, these need to be connected to an external cooling circuit
