With an outstanding 50-year track record of innovation, developing and providing state-of the-art technologies to the laser market, Gentec-EO has become The Expert of the laser beam measurement field. For all sorts of laser applications from the factory to the hospital, laboratory and research center, Gentec-EO offers the broadest range of off-the-shelf and custom solutions, and stands ready to serve you now and in the future.
The first laser energy meter in the world has been initially developed for internal use as Gentec Inc. were putting the first high repetition rate TEA CO2 lasers on the market in 1970. Gentec, Inc. introduced the first pyroelectric joulemeters shortly after that. They were also the first to manufacture both thermopile and pyroelectric laser power and energy meters. In the mid-1990s, the company introduced the WB series (today known as the W5 and W9 series) with an average power density damage threshold of over 100 kW/cm2 that is still unrivalled today.
In 2000, Gentec Electro-Optics, Inc. was formed from Gentec, Inc. so that it could focus entirely on laser beam measurement. The acquisition, in 2010, of Spectrum Detector Inc. allowed to add measurement solutions for the new and rapidly expanding THz market, ultra-sensitive optical energy meters for applications down to femtojoules, instruments for pulse to pulse energy measurements up to 200 kHz and Optical TRAP detectors that act as primary calibration standards, to name a few.
No matter what the situation, Gentec-EO is always proud to offer its customers the most accurate laser measurements as well as the most personalized help for the development of custom products and solutions.
