Beam Intensity Typical/Custom Measurement Range Calculator

This calculator will calculate typical beam intensity min/max ranges for a system you may be interested in purchasing based on your intended measurement distance to help determine if it will meet your measurement specifications/requirements. This calculator may also be used to calculate the min/max measurement ranges in beam intensity as well as new sensitivity factors to measure directly in beam intensity based on your existing systems sensitivity factor in foot-candles/lux.  Read more.

Light Source Irradiance (Watts/m2 or W/cm2) to Total Watts Converter

Use this online calculator to calculate the approximate total watt output (optical power) of a light source based on irradiance measurements taken in W/m2 or W/cm2 at a specific distance. Please note that this is a geometry conversion and and can only be used to get the APPROXIMATE total watt output (optical power).  Read more.
