Unveiled at Photonics West 2014, the 1000W-BB-34-Quad is the latest addition to Ophir Photonic's BeamTrack family. The BeamTrack family is a series of multi-function thermal detectors that measure laser power, energy, beam position, and size in one device. 

The family of devices includes previously announced 3W, 10W, 50W, 150W, and 250W detectors, with the 1000W-BB-34-Quad measuring power and position up to 1000W. Ophir claim that the BeamTrack sensors are the only laser detectors in the industry able to measure power, position, size (PPS), energy, centering, and wander in a single device. Available with a range of aperture sizes, from 12mm to 50mm, the broadband absorbers of the detectors can measure a spectral range from 150nm to 20µm.

Measuring laser power from 15W to 1000W, the 1000W-BB-34-Quad also measures laser energy from 300mJ to 300J. All of the sensors feature a "Smart Connector" interface that operates with Ophir's StarLite, Nova II, and Vega smart displays, and Juno PC interface. Further to this, beam position can be logged to record beam wander and the display is automatically configured and calibrated when plugged into one of the company's laser measurement heads.

The BeamTrack Power/Position/Size Sensors are available now. OEM pricing is available on request.
