Fast Response Laser Sensor

Blink-FR: fast response laser power sensor head: 90ms

LaserPoint's BLINK-FR laser sensors are based on a proprietary technology which enables natural response times of 90 ms (typ.) while still keeping broadband spectral range, power density capability and direct high power operation up to 50W.

The response time is a key parameter for laser detectors where a fast measurement is required. Several phenomena like pointing stability, fast drifts, instabilities, etc,… can only be monitored if the detector responds very quickly. However, when the detector is fast it cannot withstand high powers and when it measures high power it is slow:
- photodetectors can respond to pulses < 1ns but can only withstand milliwatts of direct laser power.
- thermopile detectors are inherently slow: their natural response times range from > 1s to several tens of seconds, depending on the maximum power rating. Those response times can be reduced by electronics and speed-up algorithms, but cannot be lower than 800ms-1 s, and only in the case of very low power heads.

Blink-FR fast response laser power sensor heads solve the problem, offering
- response time down to 90 ms (typ.)  (without any acceleration by additional electronics)
- 50W  measuring power.
- measurement active area: 16x16 mm

These new laser power measurement sensors open the way to a number of applications that were not possible before.
