Never let a laser pulse go unnoticed again
Friday, February 21, 2025
Precision and speed in energy measurement are crucial in industrial and scientific laser applications. However, many engineers and researchers face a major challenge: traditional joulemeters only record a fraction of laser pulses, compromising performance analysis and system stability.
A major issue: Loss of critical data
When working with high-repetition-rate lasers, every pulse matters. Whether in additive manufacturing, laser micromachining, or advanced scientific applications, each pulse's energy must be accurately measured to ensure optimal results. Unfortunately, most joulemeters on the market cannot keep up with high repetition rates and must sample pulses rather than measuring them all.
This limitation leads to several issues:
- Incorrect laser adjustments due to incomplete measurements
- Inconsistencies in the quality of manufactured parts
- Difficulty diagnosing energy variations over time
In an environment where stability and repeatability are essential, failing to capture all pulses can result in high production, maintenance, and quality control costs.
MACH 6: The solution for uncompromising energy measurement
Gentec-EO developed the MACH 6, the first joulemeter capable of measuring every pulse without sampling, up to 200 kHz. It ensures real-time, precise laser analysis for complete process control.
Why choose the MACH 6?
- Captures 100% of pulses with no data loss
- Compatible with the M6 series, covering a wide range of wavelengths and energies
- High-speed USB output for performance analysis and documentation
