PF Laser Sensors, Volume Absorbers with 20X the Power Handling Capacity
| BFi OPTiLAS, Pan-European partner of Ophir laser measurement group, is glad to introduce a new line of high damage threshold power volume absorbers for short pulse lasers (<1us). The PF Sensors absorb a laser's energy in the volume of the material being used. The sensors make use of a spray deposited on the surface and provide significantly higher power handling capacity and faster response times than the typical glass or ceramic substrate. They can handle up to 20x the power density, up to 3KW/cm2, and the response rate time is as fast as 1s. The PF Absorber Sensors is available today in four models for 15 to 150 Watts lasers. It allows power densities up to 3KW/cm2 instead of the usual 50W/cm2. The sprayed on coating is more durable and can be produced in any size needed. Because the absorber is a layer and not a solid surface, response times are faster. |
