Molectron

Information on Molectron / coherent laser power meters. Ultimately for the ezlaze project. I'm mostly interested in pyroelectric heads for pulsed power.

Ecosystem

Ecosystems:

• J DB-25 smart probes
  • Interface: DB25
  • Also known as JSA?
  • 3sigma, FieldMax-TOP, FieldMax-TO, FieldMate.s
  • Intended to be used with J25, J50 power probes
  • I also have an S10 energy probe, seems to be compatible
• LM DB-25 smart probes
  • Interface: DB25
  • Intended to be used with LM probes

Warning: J25 and LM are not compatible.

Other DB25 probes (none are known to be compatible):

• Ophir
• Laserpoint
• Gentec
• Newport

List of Molectron related power meters:

• 3sigma
• 4omega
• FieldMate
• FieldMax-TO
• FieldMax-TOP
• Fieldmaster

Lots of good info:

• Energy Sensors Coherent J25.pdf
• 2009_LMCCatalog86.pdf

There was a conversion box you could buy at one point though (thermal-smartsensor-adapter-data-sheet.pdf), so it might just be different EPROM format

• JSA-BNC Adapter
• 0012-2340: JSA-BNC Adapter for use with 3sigma, FieldMax-TOP, and FieldMax-P
• 1056827: SmartSensor Adapter for use with 3sigma, FieldMax-TOP, FieldMax-TO,and FieldMate
• Automatically configures itself to work with LM-model sensors

J25

TODO: figure out pinout, EEPROM format so I can recal and upgrade adapters

Doesn't fit trigger ports or anything I can tell JD1000 meter Capacitor exploded when plugged in (presumably due to age). Didn't work after, although some lights turned on. Scrapped
