IS50A-1KW-RMT: The world's first energy detector for lasers up to 1 kW of average power

Quebec City, QC, Canada, February 2024 - Gentec-EO, a provider of laser output measurement solutions, launches a new high-power joulemeter for laser energy measurement up to 1 kW average power.

The IS50A-1KW-RMT is the highest-power joulemeter on the market. With this innovation, Gentec Electro-Optics reaffirms its commitment to supporting the always-evolving laser industry.

Designed to meet the requirements of high average power laser users in optics laboratories, material research, optics manufacturing, the medical industry, the semiconductor industry, and the aerospace industry, the IS50A-1KW-RMT series fills the gap when it comes to laser beam measurement of high-power, pulsed lasers.

Resistant coating

Gentec-EO's proprietary coating is engineered for strength. Its damage thresholds of 5 kW/cm² and 400 mJ/cm² are orders of magnitude higher than those of any other "white" coatings on the market.

Output that fits with the user’s work environment

With four output options, users can read the measurements either on their computer or with a tabletop display device:

1. Smart DB15 connector containing all the calibration data

2. INTEGRA with USB output (-INT)

3. INTEGRA with RS-232 output (-IDR)

4. INTEGRA with USB output and external trigger (-INE)

Precise, traceable calibration

The IS50A-1KW-RMT detectors have a NIST-traceable calibration for their entire calibrated spectral range. This ensures that the measurements taken by the instruments are reliable and accurate, allowing customers to make valid comparisons with measurements taken by other instruments inside and outside their organization over time.

Available now

The IS50A-1KW-RMT is custom-built, and tailored to your measurement needs. It is available for order now. For more information contact a Gentec-EO local sales representative or visit the product page.

New laser energy detector with aperture up to 195 mm for measuring extra-large beams

Quebec City, QC, Canada, February 2024 - Gentec-EO, a provider of laser output measurement solutions, launches a new laser energy measurement solution to accommodate extra wide beams.

The new QE195LP-S-MB features an effective aperture of 195 mm. This new model of pyroelectric laser energy detector of the QE series is now the largest in the series and can measure every pulse at up to 200 Hz and up to 700 J. With a noise level as low as 0.1 mJ, this detector can be useful in a wide range of experiments.

Gentec-EO also recently added a 145 mm aperture model to the series that can measure up to 385 J.

These new measurement instruments were designed to meet the needs of laser scientists and engineers in industries such as high-energy laser science, advanced materials research and processing, energy production, and fusion research.

With these new solutions, Gentec Electro-Optics reaffirms its commitment to supporting the always-evolving laser industry.

Custom-built solution

The QE195LP-S-MB is a custom-built laser energy detector. Therefore, it can be customized to meet any specific requirements customers have.

Precise, traceable calibration

All detectors in the QE series come with a NIST-traceable calibration for their entire calibrated spectral range. This ensures that the measurements taken by the instruments are reliable and accurate, allowing customers to make valid comparisons with measurements taken by other instruments inside and outside their organization over time.

Order now

The QE195LP-S-MB detector is available for order now. For more information contact a Gentec-EO local sales representative or visit the product page.

NEW: HP100A-50KW-GD to measure extremely high-power laser beams

Quebec City, QC, Canada, January 11, 2024 - Gentec-EO, a provider of laser beam measurement instruments, has announced a new measurement solution for high-power laser beams up to 50 kW.

The HP100A-50KW-GD laser power detector was designed mainly for high-power laser and laser system manufacturers, factories that cut thick metal parts with high-power lasers, and military applications.

With its gold reflector cone and back-reflection reducing geometry, the HP100A-50KW-GD traps > 97% of the incident light and can handle up to 50 kW of continuous laser power. The very low back-reflections of the detector ensure a safer working environment with high-power lasers. This detector can also handle the high intensities of small beams.

Practical design for high-power laser beams:

- Gold cone design allows for very high damage thresholds of 25 kW/cm2.

- Very low back-reflections, < 2.5%, make it safe to use even at 50 kW.

- Compact: less than 20 cm thick.

- Serial commands available via USB. Other connectors are available on request.

- Water flow and temperature are monitored in real-time and displayed continuously, so you won’t risk burning out the detector if the cooling is interrupted.

- Customizable design: tell us your needs!

- Log your measurements on a Gentec-EO display or on your PC.

- Each detector comes with both a DB-15 connector for use with a Gentec-EO display (MAESTRO, MIRO ALTITUDE, TUNER or UNO) and a USB output for direct connection to a PC. Our proprietary software is available for free for all our customers. Other connectors are available upon request.

The HP100A-50KW-GD is available to order now. For more information, contact a Gentec-EO local sales representative or visit the product page.
