I signed the papers on my first house today! In celebration, I started looking for some home hardware hacks, but stumbled across this old (2003) laser power meter sensor. If you like to scare off the ...

To effectively control increasing number and diversity of industrial tasks now performed by lasers, manufacturers must ensure that their lasers fire at the correct power. But to date, there has been ...

Fig 1. The MEMS pressure sensor detects the tensile stress on a thin silicon membrane that changes the piezo-resistance of elements on the membrane’s surface. Fig 2. The MEMS sensor’s piezo-resistive ...

NIST researchers have developed a compact, high-accuracy, point-of-use high-power laser power meter in the form of a folding mirror called 'Smart Mirror,' making in-situ, real-time measurement of ...

A group of researchers at NIST working with engineers from Colorado-based Scientech has developed a new approach to measuring laser power using a mirror and a scale. This method, which measures the ...

PITTSBURGH, May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a pioneer in laser test and measurement instruments, proudly announces the launch of its next-generation high-power laser ...

Researchers at the US National Institute of Standards & Technology, NIST have developed a compact, high-accuracy, point-of-use high-power laser power meter in the form of a folding mirror. Called ...

Engineers know that measuring dc or low-frequency electrical power is fairly straightforward, but such measurements become more difficult as you go up the spectrum into the tens-of-gigahertz range.

Most residences and commercial buildings in the United States currently use an old-style electromechanical utility power meter to track electricity use. The meters are reliable and cheap but ...
