To effectively control increasing number and diversity of industrial tasks now performed by lasers, manufacturers must ensure that their lasers fire at the correct power. But to date, there has been ...

The U.S. military can now calibrate high-power laser systems, such as those intended to defuse unexploded mines, more quickly and easily thanks to a novel nanotube-coated power measurement device ...

Coherent announced the launch of FieldMax Touch and FieldMax Touch Pro, a new family of compact, rugged laser power and energy meters designed to bring lab-grade performance into production and field ...

Engineers know that measuring dc or low-frequency electrical power is fairly straightforward, but such measurements become more difficult as you go up the spectrum into the tens-of-gigahertz range.

Fig 1. The MEMS pressure sensor detects the tensile stress on a thin silicon membrane that changes the piezo-resistance of elements on the membrane’s surface. Fig 2. The MEMS sensor’s piezo-resistive ...

This mirror is a force scale that relates the force of a laser shining on it to the power (i.e., the brightness) of that laser. Scientists at NIST are developing these devices to embed into ...
