When diagnosing and monitoring pulsed lasers, it is now possible to perform targeted troubleshooting at frequencies of up to 10 kHz. This is ensured by the pyroelectric measuring instruments of GENTEC-EO’s QE12HR and QE25HR product series. Different models are available depending on the application and laser specifications:
- A basic version with a robust broadband absorber is designed for repetition rates of up to 1 kHz.
- A version with a QED attenuator is recommended for high energy and power densities.
- If you need it fast, opt for a model with a metallic absorber. This means that even at repetition rates of 10 kHz, each individual pulse is still detected and measured.
With such fast-pulsed lasers, it was previously only possible to measure the average power and draw conclusions about the energy of the individual pulses. With this new measurement technology, it is now possible to detect the smallest deviations “in real time,” such as individual weaker or missing pulses. In the laboratory, the reliability of pulsed lasers can thus be demonstrated. This makes it possible for corrective measures to be initiated quickly during operation in industrial facilities, even before the disturbances affect the performance of a machine.
