Scatter Shields and Protective Covers for Sensors
3 to 4% of the light impinging on the 10K-W, 15K-W, 20K-W and 30K-W is backscattered in a diffuse manner. This can cause heating of surrounding surfaces. Scatter Shields are available to greatly reduce this affect. When installed on the front flange of the sensors, they will reduce the backscatter by about 70%.

Scatter Shield for Reducing Backscattered Power
3 to 4% of the light impinging on the 10K-W, 15K-W, 16K-W and 30K-W is backscattered in a diffuse manner. This can cause heating of surrounding surfaces. Scatter Shields are available to greatly reduce this affect. When installed on the front flange of the sensors, they will reduce the backscatter by about 70%. The scatter shield comes with a protective cover with target pattern for alignment that also can be purchased separately. Since some of the light is reabsorbed, the power reading is 1-1.5% higher than without the shield, so an additional laser setting is given for use when the shield is mounted to adjust for this difference.
Protective Cover with Target Pattern
All the protective covers are made of black anodized aluminum, and have a cross pattern for alignment. Two versions are offered for sensors with scatter shield and sensors without scatter sheild. The 5000W, 10K-W, 15K-W, 16K-W, 30K-W sensors and scatter shields are supplied with protective corver. All protective covers can also be ordered separately.
