Gentec-EO: Measuring the energy of one of the most powerful lasers in the USA: mission accomplished

A well-known research center for high-power lasers is actively developing a new laser that will be one of the most powerful lasers in the United States once it is finished. The goal of their research is to advance fundamental physics. Of course, they are also highly motivated by making ground-breaking discoveries and adding notoriety to their research center by being the first to achieve specific scientific milestones. To achieve their goal, they need to measure the energy of their laser at multiple points in the beam path to make sure every component is as efficient as possible. They need to create as much laser power as possible. All of these energy levels will need to be monitored for safety protocols as well as to add to their scientific papers. Gentec-EO were able to provide the solution.
