Laser power metrology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ranges 20 orders of magnitude from photon-counting (103 photons/s) to 100 kW...
The patent-pending NIST Fiber Optic Safety Lock (“Safety Lock”) ensures continuous connection of fiber optic cables, thereby preventing laser hazards and critical system failures. The device features a specially designed fiber connector lock that requires a tool to access the connector. The Safety

A non-attenuating meter determines optical energy of laser light in an absence of optical attenuation of the laser light and includes: a recipient mirror that: receives laser light that propagates in a primary propagation direction; produces profile light; transmits the profile light through the
