I recently purchased an LPM and ARGLaser was kind enough to calibrate it for me. He estimates it can measure as high as 2.5W. But it has been suggested its not very usable below 10mW. Is this common for many LPMs?
I'm going to view a Helium Cadmium laser, this weekend, and I was wishing I had the LPM to measure its output. I expect it will be between 2 to 12 mW. But the LPM Arg calibrated wouldn't have helped me... maybe.
Should I be looking for another LPM to accurately measure in this low range? I have some 0.5 to 3mW HeNes I was looking forward to finally knowing their output. But I may have to keep waiting.
Will LaserBee's products, for example, give me accurate readings in the 0-5mW range as well as the 2000mW (445nm) range? Or am I expecting too much from a single hobbiest LPM?
