High Pulse Energy 30 W Thermopile Laser Power Sensor with 17 mm Aperture
High Pulse Energy 30 W Thermopile Laser Power Sensor with 17 mm Aperture
The 30(150)A-HE-17 is thermal power/energy laser measurement sensor with high damage threshold for pulsed lasers. It has a 17 mm aperture and can measure from 50 mW to 30 W continuously and to 150 W intermittently. It can measure energy from 60 mJ to 200 J. Its HE absorber has a damage threshold of up to 5 J/cm² and with some gaps covers the spectral range from 0.19 to 2.94 µm.

Choosing a Thermal Sensor
In this short “Basics” video we review the use – and selection - of thermal sensors for measuring low, medium and high laser powers.
Sensors for Measuring Laser Power
In this short "Basics" video we review in general how one goes about measuring laser beam power, so that you'll have a clear understanding of what the different sensor types are, and when to use each type.
Thermal Power Sensor Accuracy
Ophir former CTO Dr. Ephraim Greenfield discusses the various factors that contribute to uncertainties in measurement when using Ophir laser power and energy meters.
Effects of Incidence Angle on Measurements
In this video, you will learn to what degree a beam’s incidence angle matters, and for which sensor types this should be taken into account.
Thermal Sensor Calibration
As the spectral sensitivity of the absorber used for the power and energy measurement is not fully linear, Ophir sensors get a high precision calibration by default with more than one wavelength.
Each thermal sensor is calibrated independently of a particular Ophir power meter with its calibration information contained in the DB15 plug. When the sensor is connected to the meter, the meter reads and interprets this information to display a calibrated reading. Each power meter is calibrated independently and has the same sensitivity as an other meter within about 2 tenths of a percent.
Unless otherwise indicated, Ophir sensors and meters should be recalibrated within 18 months after initial purchase, and then once a year after that.
