Laser Power and Energy Meter

The LabMax-Pro represents the next generation of Coherent’s ground-

breaking LabMax line. This power meter combines the power and versa-

tility of the LabMax, with two new higher speed sampling modes when

used with PowerMax-Pro technology (Patent Pending). High speed mode

increases the continuous sampling rate to 20 kHz, enabling analysis of

laser pulse trains common in medical and micro welding applications.

Snapshot mode provides burst sampling at a rate of 625 kHz, enabling

users to view the rise time and pulse shape, while integrating the energy

of modulated lasers which are common in various commercial cutting

and drilling applications.

High speed sampling mode can improve processes in numerous applica-

tions. For example, it has also been used to speed up diode testing with

faster LIV curve sampling combined with higher sampling resolution.

In the traditional 10 Hz sampling mode, PowerMax-Pro sensors provide

an instant power reading, much like a photodiode but at very high pow-

ers. Legacy thermopiles and optical sensors are also compatible with the

10 Hz sampling mode, just like in past meters.

The product includes a new Windows-based PC application that enables

a wide range of analysis functions including statistics and histogram,

trending, tuning, data logging, as well as a new ability to zoom in on

detailed pulse shapes and pulse bursts with cursors and energy inte-

gration using PowerMax-Pro technology. The software interface allows

for flexible sizing of informational panes within the application, in which

contents are auto-sized dynamically as the panes are adjusted, allowing

the user to size the information of greatest importance.

Data is analyzed on the PC through USB or RS-232 interfaces through

the Windows PC application, or directly through host commands.
