slightly different manner, depending on which type of
sensor you are using. Energy measurements cannot be
taken with an optical sensor.
When using a thermopile sensor in long pulse Joules
mode, energy is measured as integrated power from
finite width pulses of the laser. For more information,
refer to “Pulsed Thermopile Joules Mode” on
page 55.
Power (watts) measurements are taken using either pyro-
electric sensors (for pulsed laser), or thermopile and
optical sensors (for continuous laser).
A speedup algorithm is used while taking power
measurements with a thermopile sensor. This algo-
rithm is applied to the tuning needles to provide
faster response while tuning a laser. Refer to “Tuning
Mode” on page 22. To improve accuracy, speedup is
not applied to the numeric measurements.
As with energy measurements, there are slight variations
in the user interface, depending on which type of sensor
you are using.
