Photodiode Sensor measures scanned/intermittent laser beam power.
Press Release Summary:
Able to measure any wavelength over 400–1,100 nm spectral range, BC20-V1 laser sensor automatically subtracts background from both scanned and static beams. Sensor can measure power of laser bar code scanners as well as laser printer scanners and peak power of pulsed mode lasers. Aperture is 10 x 10 mm, and power measurement range is 0.1–20 mW. Supplied with 1.5 m cable and swivel mount, product also features 2 operational modes and peak detector.
Original Press Release:
Ophir Photonics Announces Photodiode Sensor for Measuring Power of Laser Bar Code Scanners and Laser Printer Scanners
North Logan, UT - Ophir Photonics Group, a Newport Corporation company celebrating 40 years of excellence as the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, has announced the BC20-V1 laser sensor for measuring the power of scanned or intermittent beams. The BC20-V1 is a photodiode sensor that measures any wavelength over the spectral range of 400 – 1100nm. It is the only product on the market that is capable of measuring the power of laser bar code scanners; it also measures laser printer scanners and the peak power of pulsed mode lasers.
The BC20-V1 measures power from 0.1mW – 20mW. It has a peak detector that allows it to measure the power of a beam as it sweeps past the sensors. It features a 10x10mm aperture. The background is automatically subtracted from both scanned and static beams. The sensor includes two modes of operation: holding the highest reading for 5 seconds then updating the reading, or updating the reading three times per second. The BC20-V1 with 1.5 meter cable works with most Ophir meters and has a swivel mount for ease of operation.
Availability
The BC20-V1 laser sensor is available now. OEM pricing is available on request. BC20-V1 product page: http://ow.ly/4n2SNW
