recently found that @Thorlabs has a very usefull detector card for co2 lasers …

That would be cool, but the spec’s say:
Damage Threshold, Single 7 ns Pulse 1064 nm 35 MW/cm2
I wonder how long it would last ?
I’m not an expert…but co2 lasers are 10,640 nm…not 1064…that’s just infrared…like on most galvo lasers.
They do have some for 10600nm which are for CO2, the last one on the page, they work perfectly if the beam is not focused …
Lol…i didnt see them
My bad, I missed a Zero. I may have to give one a try.
