Coherent Expands PowerMax™ Line with PM15k+ High-Power Laser Sensor and New Backscatter Shield for PM10k+
SAXONBURG, Pa., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in photonics, today announced the expansion of its industry-leading PowerMax™ sensor portfolio with two new innovations: the PM15K+ high-power laser sensor and a new backscatter shield option for the PM10K+. These new solutions address the growing demand for accurate, efficient, and safe measurement of high-power laser systems in industrial environments. The PM15K+ sensor is designed to measure continuous laser power up to 15 kW, with the capability to handle intermittent power up to 20 kW. Featuring a large 100 mm x 100 mm active area, it accommodates wide beam diameters typically found in high-power diode and fiber laser systems. With a typical response time of just 5 seconds, the PM15K+ is ideal for high-throughput industrial settings that require fast, reliable laser power measurements. Coherent also introduced a major enhancement to its popular PM10K+ sensor—a backscatter shield that dramatically improves measurement accuracy and safety. The shield reduces reflected laser energy from 10–15% down to 1% or less, capturing stray laser light that might otherwise interfere with surrounding equipment or personnel. It features a 65 mm round input aperture and integrates seamlessly with existing PM10K+ systems. 'These new innovations reflect our commitment to advancing the state of laser measurement,' said Dr. Torsten Rauch, Senior Vice President, Solid State Business Unit.

Man dies in tiger attack, 9th killing in Uttarakhand this year
Dehradun: A 34-year-old man was mauled to death by a tiger while collecting leaves used to make eco-friendly utensils in the forests of Rishikesh range in Lal Tappar area of Dehradun district on Friday. This marks the ninth human death from tiger attacks in the state this year. Officials said a male tiger, recently relocated from Corbett to Rajaji Tiger Reserve, had been exploring new territory and moving between Tapovan and Rajaji over the past 20 days but has since returned to the reserve. The area is also home to a tigress, and it is yet to be determined which animal was responsible for the attack, officials added. The victim, identified as Raju (only first name available), had entered the forest with his brother around 9.30am when the tiger attacked them. His brother, Sanju, ran for help, but by the time others arrived, Raju had died. Officials noted that the body was intact, suggesting it was an accidental encounter rather than a predatory attack. "An ex-gratia of Rs 1.5 lakh has been given to the family, and the remaining compensation to follow upon completion of formalities," said Dehradun DFO Neeraj Sharma. The recent tiger movement from Motichur to Rishikesh and Barkot forest ranges underscores the ecological connectivity of the Kansrao-Motichur-Barkot wildlife corridor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experience three trade fairs with just one ticket Undo automatica 2025 Undo Laser World of Photonics Undo World of Quantum Undo Visit automatica: June 24-27, Munich Undo However, forest officials remain concerned about rising human activity fragmenting wildlife habitats and depleting resources. "There is an overwhelming presence of human habitation across Chhiddarwala, Nepali Farm, and Lal Tappar. The forest patch near Rishikesh and Barkot is narrow, only about 8 to 9 km wide, which is insufficient and not very promising for tiger habitation. The tiger is still exploring areas and does not yet have a fixed territory," said a senior IFS officer on condition of anonymity. Since 2020, under the translocation project, five tigers have been moved from Corbett and the Kumaon region to Rajaji. This effort aims to re-establish the tiger population in western Rajaji, extending into the westernmost parts of the Shivaliks, reaching Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. Efforts are underway to identify the animal responsible and inform the public, said Sharma. "We are spreading awareness among locals and tourists, asking them not to venture into the forests due to the presence of tigers, leopards, elephants and other wildlife. We have also requested higher authorities for permission to either trap or tranquilise the animal responsible. Joint patrolling teams from Dehradun and Rajaji are on constant alert, focusing on the fringe areas," he said.
