Laserbee LPM measure over 1W?

[f22warzone]

I am just wondering What would happen if you shined a say 1.3W laser onto the LPM has any body used their laserbee for such high power?
if i did such a thing I would make sure the dot covers the whole surface area of the sensor and not just a small dot to minimize the power over area and burning of the coding.
or is it a software limitation and cant go above 1040mw?

You gonna damage it I think. Ask laserbee directly about it

The sensor MAY be able to handle it. But the actual meter only shows powers of up to 1050mW, no higher. I reckon the sensor will be okat so long as the dot is not focused to a point.

Using a cube with a 50/50 split would work, just double the value you see on the meter.

 

[diachi]

Oh yeah I forgot ! You can use an ND filter to reduce the power and then just multiply the reading until you get what it actually is

Could use a 50/50 cube as suggested above

Hey f22warzone...
diachi and Gryphon are absolutely correct on both fronts....:thanks:
BTW if I have a problem with my car.... I'll call the dealer first....

hey just ship your LPM to me and we'll assume you broke it, and everyone can be happy

ha-ha lol when I have a problem with my car I look it over, if I can't figure it out I ask a mechanic friend, and if he can't figure it out I go to the dealer where I get screwed over on the price and they tell me I need the gold plated car battery to start my car instead of the always start battery I picked up at Napa for 100$ less when the problem was the fuse was blown
Not trying to say anything about you though. I just figured you were a busy man and was just asking the community if anybody had done anything like this, and if I hadn't got the response I wanted, I was going to pm you directly, not trying to go around you or anything I just like peers before the dealer on simple stuff and I got the answers I wanted now just to find a 50/50 cube.

The beam splitter is a super idea but consider using a fan. Pass the beam through fan blades to chop the energy. The ratio of blade to open space would be your multiplier.
If the blades are plastic, limit the time before the cut blades are tossed around.

Lol you're a funny guy and I like you I was just showing my really bad dislike for car dealer ships but Na your cool otherwise I wouldn't have this super low cost LPM
lol should hope your part of this community but really I just didn't want to bother you as I know most owner are busy people and was wondering if anybody else had used higher power lab lasers on them.

Would a fan work? That is an interesting idea but can the laserbee measure pulses accurately?

 

[Hemlock_Mike]

Yes -- As a thermal averaging system, it should work that way in chopped mode.
I did post this as old school food for thought.
