Gentec-EO Power Detectors

Get accurate measurements with fast response times with Gentec-EO thermopile or pyroelectric power meters. Available with various absorbers, with the highest damage thresholds you can find in their category, their power meters cover a wide range going from the nanowatts to multi-kilowatts.

Full details of available standard models are listed further below.

Gentec-EO: New Hand-held Laser Power Meter for Measurements up to 250 Watts

Gentec-EO has announced the launch of its brand new Pronto Handheld Laser Power Meter. This new meter is small but strong, with 250 W of instantaneous laser power measurements, thanks to an all-metal casing and the strongest absorber on the market. With its intuitive touch screen display and unbeatable price, the Pronto handheld detector is simply perfect for laser marking applications.

New Gentec-EO HP60A-15KW-GD detector for laser power measurement up to 15 kW

Gentec-EO is now offering a new laser power detector that can measure up 15 kW of continuous power with a damage threshold of 10 kW/cm2.

The new HP60A-15KW-GD power detector has a gold reflector cone that is specifically designed to handle the high intensities of very small but powerful beams. By reflecting the incident light on the sides of the aperture, the cone effectively spreads the intensity on a larger area (which is covered by our proprietary high damage threshold absorber), thus raising the damage threshold to 10 kW/cm2 at full power.

With such high damage thresholds, you can now measure your laser’s power without the need to expand your beam.

Also, because the light is redirected toward the inside of the detector, there is less heat that is dissipated in the environment surrounding your detector and therefore it allows for a more compact optical setup in your work environment. Moreover, the very low back-reflections of the detector ensure a safer working environment with high power lasers.

This detector comes with both a DB-15 connector (for use with a Gentec-EO display such as MAESTRO, TUNER or UNO) and a USB2.0 output for direct measurement on a PC with our free proprietary software PC-Gentec-EO.

This water-cooled detector is available in both imperial and metric version.

Just like all other Gentec-EO high-power detectors, the HP60A-15KW-GD is less sensitive to variations in water cooling temperature than any other high-power water-cooled meter on the market, which provides a stable measurement reading.

Calibration is available for both YAG and CO2 lasers with a calibration uncertainty of +/- 5%.

Gentec-EO HP-125A-15KW: New high power detector for laser power measurement up to 15kW

HIGH POWER HANDLING

Handles up to 15 kW of continuous power with standard models. Custom models available for higher powers.

STABLE READING

Less sensitive to variations in water cooling temperature than any other high power water-cooled meter on the market

LARGE APERTURE

Our standard HP models (4KW, 12KW and 15KW) have a very large effective aperture up to 125 mm Ø to accomodate even the largest laser beams. Larger apertures with various shapes are available upon request (See SUPER HP).

AVAILABLE WITH YAG AND CO2 CALIBRATION

All HP Models can be calibrated at YAG and CO2 wavelengths with a calibration uncertainty of +/- 5%

DIRECT USB CONNECTION TO A PC

Each head comes with both a DB-15 connector (for use with a Gentec-EO monitor) and a USB2.0 output for direct connection to a PC.
