Power Meters for Faster Fiber Alignment
From: MKS/Newport
Faster fiber alignment and measurements means higher rate of production, reducing the cost per product. Newport benchtop power meters are equipped with analog output with the bandwidths up to 400 kHz, depending on the model and the range. The analog output can be coupled to the motion controller for a fiber optic alignment or to the laser diode controller for LIV measurements at a super-charged speed.
