The high-power PRONTO series will replace the FLASH series models. Gentec-EO will be sticking to its usual recipe for success but will also be attending to some improvements: The new measurement devices are calibrated for the wavelength range from 250 nm to 2500 nm and deliver exact results in the visible spectrum and beyond. Calibration for 10.6 µm is available upon request. This significantly improved display and control module with a color touchscreen display is particularly easy to operate.
With just a few clicks, the user can set up all desired parameters. And that is not all: Via a micro-USB interface, measurement data can now be transferred to a computer. Data transfer should also soon be available in the other direction. Gentec-EO has announced that the PRONTO units will soon be completely “remotely controllable” with serial commands via a USB connection.
Users will not miss the familiar performance in laser power measurement and high damage threshold of the detector offered by the FLASH series as it will also be available in the new series: The four models cover the power range from approximately 2 W to a maximum of 10 kW and guarantee extremely high precision with a particularly low noise level (0.1 W in the PRONTO-500). A measurement process lasts just a few seconds, thus making it possible to carry out several measurements before the unit has to be cooled again. The high-power models of the PRONTO series also manage without water cooling and are thus optimally suited for service technicians who have to carry out precise measurements on powerful industrial lasers.
