PS Series
High Power PS Family
These are your heavy duty solutions for accurate power measurement from a few W to 6 kW of continuous average power (9 kW intermittent). All models have a special broadband coating with an impressive range from far UV to far IR. The large apertures and stable water cooling make these detectors the ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications. You can read these detectors with any Gentec-EO power/energy meter.
PS-6K
This heavy weight detector was designed for the highest power industrial CO2 laser applications. The PS-6K provides up to 6 kW of continuous average power (and 9 kW intermittent) in the same compact package as the PS-3K. The specially engineered disk thermopile is coated with a proprietary absorber in order to handle this much power in the same package and provide the same tough damage threshold. It has the same water cooling system and monitor compatibility as its siblings.
Water Cooling
A flowing liquid coolant removes the heat to enable these detectors to absorb high average power from lasers. The quick connects are made to join with semi-rigid tubing, 8 mm tubing for the PS-1.5K and 10 mm tubing for the others. These detectors are made from stainless steel and chrome/nickel plated brass components to prevent corrosion. The internal cooling system is made of anodized aluminium for great heat transfer. At the same time the pigmented anodization is sealed with a crystal salt for superior corrosion resistance. These detectors also come with a heavy duty stand that allows both vertical and horizontal positioning.
Calibration
The PS series detectors come standard with one calibration wavelength ; CO2 or YAG (CO2 being the default). You can have your PS detector calibrated at the 2 wavelengths for a small fee.
