LASER ENERGY SENSOR

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Laser Energy Sensors for a Broad Range of Wavelengths, Rep Rates, Pulse Widths, and Beam Diameters. The laser has high damage resistance, high repetition rates & large active areas, low noise, and ISO 17025 accreditation.
Our laser energy sensors for higher pulse energy applications primarily incorporate pyroelectric detectors utilizing several different coatings, active area diameters, and diffusers. Low energy models incorporate photodiodes and diffusers.

Energy sensors are offered in a DB25 format for compatibility with our stand-alone power and energy meters. Many models are also available in USB configurations for direct PC plug-and-play interfacing, and in RS-232 format for use with an industrial controller.

EnergyMax-RS Sensors 

Miniaturized meter electronics with an RS-232 interface integrated within the sensor cable.

Key Features:

• RS-232 connectivity is ideal for OEM embedded applications
• Fast 14-bit A/D converter and FPGA processor for high speed, accurate operation
• RS-232 sensors operate up to 1 kHz maximum available baud rate
• Synchronized dual unit operation to support A/B ratiometry
• State-of-the-art EnergyMax Sensor Technology

Coherent’s “Meterless” Technology 

EnergyMax-RS “meterless” sensors contain miniaturized meter electronics and an RS-232 interface that are integrated within the sensor cable. Coherent’s entire range of high performance EnergyMax-RS sensors enable the measurement of the energy per pulse or average power of pulsed lasers from the nanojoule to the multi-joule level, over wavelengths from the deep ultraviolet through the far infared, and from single pulses to repetition rates of 1 kHz (with measurements of every pulse).

Additionally, stacking (of up to four) EnergyMax sensors enables all connected units to share both internal and external triggers for synchronized operation, for applications such as pulse-to-pulse “A/B” ratiometry.

EnergyMax-RS Sensor Model Accessory

EnergyMax-RS must be powered with a 5V DC input. This power must be supplied through an external power supply plugged into the external power input plug, or for embedded applications with custom circuit boards, this power can be supplied through Pin1 on the RS232 connector.
