Product Portfolio

  • LASER BEAM MEASUREMENTS

  • Whether you are interested in measuring your laser power, laser energy or conduct beam diagnostics to know all the characteristics of your laser, we have a measurement instrument for that.

      • NEW PRODUCTS

      • Gentec-EO, a provider of laser beam measurement instruments, has announced a new measurement solution for high-power laser beams up to 50 kW.

        The HP100A-50KW-GD laser power detector was designed mainly for high-power laser and laser system manufacturers, factories that cut thick metal parts with high-power lasers, and military applications. With its gold reflector cone and back-reflection reducing geometry, the HP100A-50KW-GD traps > 97 % of the incident light and can handle up to 50 kW of continuous laser power.

        The very low back-reflections of the detector ensure a safer working environment with high-power lasers. This detector can also handle the high intensities of small beams.

          • New: PRONTO-250-FLEX

          • Gentec Electro-Optics launches the PRONTO-250-FLEX laser power meter. Improving on the already successful PRONTO-250, the new PRONTO-250-FLEX has flexible calibration options, so the customers only pay for what they use. The basic model includes a broadband calibration for visible to NIR wavelengths (248 nm to 2.5 µm).

            Customers can request additional calibrations for CO2 lasers (10.6 µm) and energy measurement (with ± 5 % accuracy) when they purchase the PRONTO-250-FLEX. Traceable calibration: Ensure accuracy and reliability PRONTO-250-FLEX has a NIST-traceable calibration at 1064 nm, and also has a traceable wavelength correction to complete the calibrated spectral range. Traceable calibration provides the ability to trace the readings of laser output measurements to known international measurement standards determined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This ensures that the measurements taken by the instruments are reliable and accurate.

                        • WHEN TO CONSIDER A GENTEC-EO CALORIMETER?

                        • For large beams, high energies and special applications that do not fit with the QE or UP series, Gentec-EO can build custom calorimeters to fit special requirements. A calorimeter can be considered as the ideal option when facing one or more of these conditions:

                          • A beam larger than 95 mm
                          • Ultrashort (picosecond, femtosecond) pulses
                          • Very long (˃ 433 ms) pulses up to several seconds
                          • High and very high single-shot energies (˃ 500 J) up to 16 kJ
                          • High energy densities (˃ 15 J/cm2)
                          • Limited space
                          • Clean room and vacuum applications
                          • When very low back-reflection is required

                      • LASER BEAM DUMPS

                            • BD SERIES

                            • The BD Series are rugged and easy-to-use, simply plug the water-cooling and you’re ready to go! Like our high power HP Series, these beam dumps have a highly resistant absorber that can withstand several kW in continuous mode. Their very large aperture of 100 mm in diameter accommodates even the largest beams.

                              An isolation tube (available in option) helps reduce the back reflections.

                              2 models are offered: 4 kW and 12 kW.

                              • Rugged

                        • Our discrete pyroelectric detectors are a class of room temperature thermal detectors that produce a current output that is directly proportional to the rate of change of temperature when exposed to a source of radiation.

                          These detectors are ideal for pulsed laser applications. They can be used in applications where small, compact, inexpensive, easily integrated and very sensitive measurement devices are required.

                          • QS-L SERIES Passive discrete pyro detectors with thermally isolated crystal for high sensitivity (low noise) at low frequencies
                          • QS-H SERIES Passive discrete pyro detectors with heat sink for high average power and high frequency operation.
                          • QS-IL SERIES QS-IL sensors are current-mode hybrid sensors designed for high sensitivity, low bandwidth applications.
                          • QS-IF SERIES QS-IF sensors are current-mode hybrid sensors designed for high frequency applications, up to 20 MHz.

                              • PERFORMANCE AND FEATURES

                              • Our Discrete Pyroelectric Detectors range from 1 to 9 mm in diameter and are provided in various configurations: passive or hybrid, high sensitivity or high average power. They present a pyroelectric detector element covered with our metallic coating (MT) and are packaged in a miniature TO-5 or TO-8 can. 

                                The advantages of a pyroelectric detector over other IR detectors are:

                                • Room temperature operation
                                • Broad spectral response
                                • High sensitivity

                                Some of our customization options are:

                                • Permanent IR windows that can be added to the TO can
                                • BL absorber for high absorption and flat spectral response

                            Measure, track and align your laser beam position with our pyroelectric pointing stability detectors and PC-based acquisition & readout device.

                              • LASER POSITION AND POINTING STABILITY DETECTORS

                              • Our large area Pyroelectric Quadrant Detectors provide unique advantages over other laser position and pointing stability detectors like Silicon quads or lateral effect photodiodes.

                                They are fast, handle high peak power of pulsed lasers without saturation and respond to lasers across the spectrum, from UV to Far IR and even THz.

                                The QUAD-E is intended for use with pulsed sources at up to 1000 Hz, while the QUAD-P is designed for CW and High Repetition Rate (Quasi CW) sources.

                                Both types of detectors can also be used as standalone units, in an analog mode, for incorporation into your own system application. We can provide a Lemo pigtail cable for this purpose.

                              • QUAD-4TRACK: PC-BASED ACQUISITION & READOUT DEVICE

                              • The QUAD-4Track is a laser position and pointing stability sensing system designed to support our unique Pyroelectric Quadrant Detectors, QUAD-P and QUAD-E.

                                It is a 4-channel microprocessor-based system that measures the voltage output of each QUAD element and does the math necessary to provide a measurement of the X and Y displacement of a laser beam or image.

                                It is fast and can be used to track, align and/or measure movement in real time, with a resolution of just a few microns!

                                • THERMAL DISKS FOR INTEGRATION

                                • The thermal disks in the UD Series were designed for integration into laser systems. They are the solution if you are engineering the cooling and signal processing into your system already.

                                  We offer many sizes and absorber choices.

                                • ENHANCED PERFORMANCE WITH AN EXTERNAL PCBs

                                • If you select a thermal disk, you can also use our external PCB for signal anticipation, amplification and filtering.

                                  We can also integrate a PCB inside complete detectors.
