MILESTONES The first laser energy meter in the world has been initially developed for internal use as Gentec Inc. were putting the first high repetition rate TEA CO2 lasers on the market in 1970. Gentec, Inc. introduced the first pyroelectric joulemeters shortly after that. They were also the first to manufacture both thermopile wattmeters and pyroelectric joulemeters. In the mid 1990’s, Gentec introduced the WB series with an average power density damage threshold of 100 kW/cm² that is still unrivalled today. In 2000, Gentec Electro-Optics, Inc. was formed from Gentec, Inc. so that the focus...

PRODUCT GUIDE 2023-10

By definition, calibration is a comparison between measurements, one of a known magnitude or correctness, which is typically called a “gold standard”, and another measurement comparable to the first one. In the calibration process, there are four critical aspects that need to be controlled precisely: COMPARISON PROCESS The first step in the calibration process is the comparison to a known and traceable standard. At Gentec-EO, we always do this using Gold and not a Silver calibration standards, unlike some of our competitors. This extra carefulness in the comparison process comes from decades...

HIGHEST CALIBRATION STANDARDS Measuring with Gentec-EO accuracy ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS All of our electrical instruments are calibrated by certified calibration suppliers. They certify that, at the time of calibration, the instruments used for calibration meet or exceed all published specifications and have been calibrated using standards whose calibrations are traceable to the NIST and/or other recognized international standards. The electrical and physical properties of their laboratories meet the highest requirements for ambient temperature, relative humidity and cleanliness. Their equipment...

CALIBRATION WAVELENGTHS Another misconception is that any wavelength can be NIST calibrated. The NIST only supplies references for distinct wavelengths contained between 157 nm (F2 excimer lasers) and 10.6 μm (CO2 lasers). Every other wavelength within this range or out of this range is subject to an additional error. For more information about NIST’s calibration wavelengths, please visit their website at: shop.nist.gov/ccrz__ProductDetails?sku=42240C PERSONAL WAVELENGTH CORRECTIONTM CERTIFICATE To fill the gaps between the NIST references, Gentec-EO offers you the only NIST traceable calibration...
