The Optical Engineering P-100 25B 100 Watt 20 Sec Power Probe is a precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of laser power up to 100 watts. This handheld device is ideal for both laboratory and industrial settings, offering a straightforward and efficient method for assessing laser output. Key Features Measurement Range: Capable of measuring laser power from 0 to 100 watts, accommodating a variety of laser systems. Timed Exposure: Utilizes a 20-second exposure period to determine average power, ensuring consistent and reliable readings. Ease of Use: Designed for quick spot-checks without the need for complex setup or alignment, minimizing disruption in both laboratory and production environments. Durable Construction: Features a robust, all-metal design with a tough absorbent coating that resists mechanical abrasion and water immersion, ensuring longevity and reliability. Compact Design: The absorbing probe head is conveniently sized to fit between optical components, allowing measurements without disturbing existing setups. Operation The P-100 25B operates as a self-contained unit comprising an absorbing head, a temperature measuring mechanism, a zeroing knob, and a readout dial. To perform a measurement, the user zeros the dial, exposes the absorbing head to the laser beam for 20 seconds, and then reads the power measurement directly from the dial. This process is designed to be completed in approximately one minute, facilitating efficient power assessments. Applications This power probe is suitable for use with continuous or repetitively pulsed lasers, making it versatile for various applications, including: Routine maintenance and calibration of laser systems. Quality control in manufacturing processes involving lasers. Research and development projects requiring precise laser power measurements. The Optical Engineering P-100 25B 100 Watt 20 Sec Power Probe stands out as a reliable and user-friendly tool for professionals seeking accurate laser power measurements without the complexities associated with continuous power meters.
