Thermal sensors

Thermal methods of measuring power and energy are those in which the energy of the radiation is absorbed and converted into heat, which generates an increase in temperature in the absorber.

The absorbed energy is then measured using a function that takes into account the temperature gradient between the hot area (where the laser shines) and the cold area (where the generated heat is dissipated). This measurement can be performed using thermocouple arrays (thermopile). The temperature difference will generate a voltage at the end of each individual thermocouple and the resulting total voltage will be proportional to the incident power or energy.

Fast technical support LaserPoint application engineers have many years of experience with optics, electronics, lasers and thermal properties of materials

Reliable and accurate solution LaserPoint OEM sensors are based on reliable thermocouple technology

Thermal sensors have a faster response than thermoelectric ones. They have a higher range of wavelengths than silicon detectors. Thermal sensors do not degrade over time, and if not used properly, they can work for many years with the same parameters. The absorbers used guarantee the same absorption of laser radiation at all times.
