The PRONTO-250-EZ laser power meter from Gentec-EO was honored with the Silver Laser Focus World Innovators Award at SPIE Photonics West 2026. Each year, the jury presents this prestigious award to recognize particularly practical and forward-looking new developments in laser technology.
The PRONTO-250-EZ features a novel, flat EZ absorber. Using nanotechnology, Gentec-EO has developed a surface that is significantly easier to clean and considerably reduces the risk of contamination-related damage. The new absorber layer is a refinement and improvement of the H-coating used in the previous PRONTO-250-Flex model. It can withstand even higher power densities, which makes the PRONTO-250-EZ the ideal solution for industrial, medical, and research applications.
The robust laser power meter is extremely versatile: it measures laser powers from 0.5 W to 250 W in the UV (248 nm) to near-infrared (2.5 µm) spectral range. An optional additional calibration is available for the CO₂ wavelength of 10.6 µm.
