Gentec Electro-Optics (Gentec-EO) is the global benchmark in laser power and energy measurement, with over 40 years of innovation from their base in Québec, Canada. Their product range spans from nanowatt photodiode heads to multi-kilowatt thermopile detectors, covering UV to far-IR wavelengths — all built around Gentec’s proprietary absorber technology and NIST-traceable calibration.

Gentec-EO design and manufacture every component of their measurement systems in-house: detector heads, absorber coatings, display electronics, and software. This end-to-end control gives them industry-leading damage thresholds, broad spectral coverage from 190 nm to 20 µm, and calibration data embedded directly in the detector’s smart connector — meaning any Gentec display or PC interface recognises and configures itself automatically when you plug in a head.

Photonic Solutions is the authorised UK and Ireland distributor for the full Gentec-EO catalogue. Whether you’re measuring femtojoule pulses from a mode-locked oscillator or kilowatts from an industrial fibre process laser, our team will help you specify the right detector, readout, and accessories. We can source any product from the Gentec-EO range — contact us to discuss your application.
