A new mobile app from Coherent Inc. enables operation of the company’s laser power and energy sensors with iPad tablets, providing access to a comprehensive suite of laser power and energy measurement capabilities on a state-of-the-art, touchscreen display. These capabilities include instantaneous power reading, pulse shape analysis, beam position (for position sensing detectors), data logging and statistics, as well as the ability to save data files and share them.
The tablet is connected via Wifi to a Coherent LabMax-Pro meter with Wifi Adapter, enabling compatibility with virtually all of Coherent’s extensive selection of laser power and energy sensors. LabMax-Pro meters are the fastest on the market (continuous sampling at 10 Hz or 20 kHz, or burst sampling at 625 kHz using PowerMax-Pro sensors), and the app fully supports these high speed measurements to enable real-time analysis of modulated or pulsed systems.
