Coherent Introduces High-Power Laser Sensor
30 Mai 2024 - 12:00PM
Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a pioneer in laser test and
measurement instruments, proudly announces the launch of its
next-generation high-power laser sensor designed to support the
expanding high-power applications market and reduce measurement
times by up to 500%.
Introducing the Coherent PM10K+ Laser Power
Sensor
The new Coherent PM10K+ laser power sensor can measure the power
output of CW lasers up to 10 kW (12 kW intermittent) in less than 3
seconds. This cutting-edge sensor features a large 65 mm x 65 mm
active area (6.5 in²) to prevent clipping of large beam sizes and
includes a laser interlock function that terminates the laser
during measurement to protect the sensor from damage. It is ideally
suited for high-power CO2, fiber, and diode lasers used in
industrial applications such as cutting, welding, brazing,
drilling, cladding, ablation, and heat treating.
Innovations and Performance
Designed from the ground up for high-power laser measurement,
the PM10K+ sensor incorporates key innovations for exceptional
performance. Coherent, a leader in thermal management technology,
developed a novel heat sink design and integrated it with
high-performance components, including advanced temperature
sensors. This hardware is complemented by proprietary algorithms
for thermal modeling, fluid dynamics, and data acquisition and
processing, making the PM10K+ the fastest kW-class
calorimeter-based power sensor available today.
“Higher laser power opens new markets and applications, offering
cost savings for manufacturers. However, if power measurements – a
critical step for ensuring process consistency – become a
bottleneck, it can negate the speed advantage of high-power
lasers," explains Michael Cook, Vice President and General Manager
of the Laser Systems and Measurement Business Unit. "Understanding
this challenge, our engineering team developed a modern sensor
architecture that delivers the speed, accuracy, and reliability
that industrial users need. The result is a unique power sensor
that allows manufacturers to fully benefit from industrial lasers
up to 10 kW."
Connectivity and Integration
The PM10K+ sensor is available in two interface formats: a USB
interface for direct connection to desktop or laptop computers, and
a DB25 cable compatible with the extensive range of Coherent power
and energy meters, including the recently launched Coherent LabMax
Touch power meters. A second model features RS-232 for seamless
integration with OEM industrial control systems.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
Coherent offers a broad portfolio of laser test and measurement
products, including a wide array of laser power and energy sensors,
laser power meters, and beam diagnostics systems. These products
