Laser power meters are important instruments when testing, building or repairing lasers. Here are a few laser power meters I build and sold. If you need a laser power meter or something related feel free to contact me, I also build custom LPM's or readouts.

5W Laser Power Meter based on an Ophir OEM Head.

This is a nice looking LPM I build and sold a while ago. I build it in a project box I had laying around. All the components were a perfect fit, the panel meter fitted perfectly in the tight space and with the batteries included the inside is nicely filled up. It uses 2 9V batteries to provide the ophir head with a symmetrical voltage, one of the batteries also powers the panel meter.

simple 2W Laser Power Meter based on an Ophir OEM Head.

The Ophir OEM heads require a symemtrical power supply and have a simple 1V/W output. A panel meter can read this voltage directly, so a lpm doesn't have to be more complicated than that. I just made all the connections between the batteries, panel meter and ophir head and the power meter was finished

Testing the lpm without batteries

I sold this panel meter to a member of laserpointerforums.com, a review with videos can be found here

5W Ophir OEM readout circuit

I got a request to build a readout circuit for an Ophir OEM head similar to the 5W lpm I previsouly build. This is the same circuit. It uses 2 9V batteries for the symmetric power supply and one battery also powers the panel meter using a 7805 regulator. All the cables and the on/off switch are included, the only thing needed for a complete LPM is the Ophir OEM head and a box for the circuit.
