Is there any other recommended tool besides the Coherent LaserCheck ?
Thanks
Hernan
Hernan, do you want something better, cheaper or? Please clarify.
Hernan, you tell me. What are you looking for?
When we investigated this a few years ago, there was not many options. The only other we found was Gigahertz-Optik but that was 6x the price of the Coherent one and had multiple parts. It might be excellent. I don't know but, for our purposes in measuring basic IR light levels, the Coherent one was good enough.
just the wavelenght?
Wavelength Range | 400-1064 nm |
Hernan, please elaborate. What about wavelength? You want a meter that measures across the entire range of 400-1604nm or?
John,
I can't find in my local market this specific device. I'd like to know what to look for in a tool to measure IR lighting.
I asume that the wavelenght sensitivity is a most, al least from 800nm up to 1000nm (IR led light).
The device is a power meter, not a luxometer, right?
Thanks again
Hernan
Regarding your local market, for Coherent:
A luxmeter is a type of power meter that is calibrated / restricted to visible light (e.g., ~400 - 700nm).
The Coherent unit has a range of 400 - 1064nm but the user can specify / configure the target area (i.e., 850nm for IR). From our original report:
This item is also available thru Anchor Optics (a division of Edmunds Optical), $425, Credit card, International shipping available
