THE ULTIMATE TECHNOLOGY
BLINK HS patented technology, based on thermopile design, makes this product the fastest laser power and energy sensor currently available in the market. This technology allows to combine the high response speed of a photodiode with the broadband and high power operation of a thermopile.
Laser applications requiring high speed measurements can take advantage of the sub-microsecond response time; this BLINK HS feature allows to measure the energy of each pulse emitted by laser sources with repetition rates up to 1 MHz, pulse durations down to fs and average power up to 50W, characteristics that cannot be present all together in pyroelectric or photodiode sensors. Moreover, its high damage threshold and efficient water cooling allow to withstand energies up to 10mJ.
BLINK HS can be deployed by laser manufactures to detect fast instabilities in laser sources as well as by system integrators to monitor fast processes in production lines. Combining all advantages present in photodiodes, pyroelectric and thermal detectors, BLINK HS is a very versatile product, suited to measure most of the laser sources commercially available, from ultrashort pulse to CW lasers. High Speed Meter (HSM) is also available with a sampling rate up to 500 Msample/s to provide a precise energy measurement of each single ultrashort pulse.

BLINK HS-ENH (Enhanced) is a measurement SYSTEM specifically developed for ultrafast lasers with low energy per pulse, down to 1μJ.
Such a low energy, combined with the high repetition rate, requires a dedicated signal amplification and an accurate calibration procedure, performed on the complete system made by the High Speed sensor Blink HS and its High Speed Meter (HSM). HSM is specifically developed to connect Blink HS sensor to PC via Ethernet, to acquire and display data of laser pulse trains and perform statistics on many laser parameters such as pulse energy, power, repetition rate, peak energy.
HSM is able to provide a precise energy measurement of each single ultrashort pulse up to MHz range repetition rate. It is suitable for ultrashort pulsed lasers down to femtosecond pulse duration.
The instrument is supplied with Giotto Software, a user-friendly GUI that allows working at different Gain levels, necessary for accurately measure low energy values.
