Ophir-Spiricon Inc. Introduces Quasar, Wireless Bluetooth Interface for Laser Measurement Applications
January 22, 2008 - San Jose, CA - Ophir-Spiricon, a global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today at Photonics West announced Quasar, a wireless Bluetooth interface that broadcasts laser meter data to any PC or laptop within 10 meters. Quasar enables operators to separate the placement of the remote laser energy meter and the operator's PC or laptop to provide optimal flexibility for complex laser meter applications. The wireless interface reduces cable clutter and can accommodate hard to measure areas such as glove boxes or high power lasers behind barriers.
Quasar is available for most Ophir smart heads including thermopile, photodiode, and pyroelectric, and comes in two options: (1) Table model that connects to any Ophir smart head and broadcasts to a PC, and (2) Directly mounted on an Ophir thermopile head, providing optimal portability and eliminating all cables. Quasar offers an optional antenna with extended wireless range of up to 60 meters, and a rechargeable NiMH battery provides more than 20 hours of use. Ophir's USBI PC software is included with each interface and converts any PC into a comprehensive laser power/energy meter, with features such as log power and energy, averages, statistics, histograms, and more.
"Combining wireless technology with laser power/energy measurements is an enabling technology," stated Gary Wagner, President, Ophir-Spiricon Inc. "Ophir-Spiricon is leading the laser measurement industry by providing industry-standard Bluetooth technology that enables our customers to have a completely wireless solution for complicated laser measurement applications, such as high power diodes that are hidden behind barriers. Quasar helps ensure the safety of operators in those situations. And by offering two options for configuration, we provide the flexibility that our customers need."
Availability & Pricing
The Quasar Bluetooth interface is available now. OEM pricing based on quantity ordered.
