Buying Laser Viewing Cards

Top-level product categories: detectors and measurements, various devices

Related product categories: infrared-to-visible converters, infrared viewers

Laser viewing cards are frequently used in laser laboratories and industrial settings for checking the positions of infrared laser beams. They may work based on phosphorescence, upconversion fluorescence, or direct generation of fluorescence light. There are also thermochromic materials for beam visualization.

laser viewing cards

The VIEW-IT® infrared laser detector handheld pocket card, VS-22IR, features a target of 2 inches (50.8 mm) square. The target converts invisible 800–1700 nm light to a visible green with a minimum sensitivity of 1 mJ/cm² and a maximum damage threshold of 1 J/cm² for nanosecond pulses, 10 J/cm² for microsecond or millisecond pulses and 30 W/cm² for continuous wave operation. Outside dimensions are 3.5 × 2 × 0.025 inches [88.9 × 50.8 × 0.66 mm]. Requires no charging or batteries to illuminate.

laser viewing cards

Our laser alignment phosphor products offer greater performance and safety to users of UV, visible, and IR lasers. They reduce problems associated with beam visualization, profiling and alignment in many applications. All ranges available in three formats. The laminated credit card-style is for low power sources and reflective viewing only. The 25-mm disk and clip-on wand style is used when frequent component positioning is required. The removable disk is positionable at an optics location to enable precise alignment, while wand format permits handling into beam path. Optical bench-mountable head format has large active area and ¼-20 threaded mounting for standard imperial post/post holder integration.
