Gentec-EO PRONTO Meters

Pocket-sized, high-precision laser power meters

The Gentec-EO PRONTO series provides compact, high-precision laser power and energy measurement at the press of a button. Featuring an intuitive colour touchscreen, these versatile portable meters deliver fast, accurate power readings for most common lasers.

Pocket-sized, high-precision laser power meters

Ensure the Performance of Your Lasers

Engineered for versatility across field service and laboratory environments, the PRONTO family covers a wide measurement range, from low power readings as little as 300 pW with the PRONTO-Si, to high-power 10 kW beams with the PRONTO-10K.

Compact pocket-sized models allow easy measurements in tight optical setups. High-power models feature a large 55 mm aperture to accommodate large high power beams, while a cable allows the display to be positioned away from the sensor.

The popular PRONTO-250-EZ-Y (ideal for fibre & YAG lasers) and PRONTO-250-FLEX-YC (ideal for CO2 lasers) are available from our webshop. PRONTO-250-EZ models are specifically adapted for dirty environments and can be cleaned on-the-go without affecting precision.

Key features include serial command integration for remote control, customisable wavelength settings, internal memory for data logging, and integrated threaded mounting holes for hands-free operation on optical stands. Selected models offer traceable calibration options covering CO2 lasers and single-shot energy measurement in addition to standard YAG calibration.

You ask, we answer

It’s easy! First, ensure that your laser beam fits within the sensor’s aperture and that the power density is within the sensor’s specified limits. Set the wavelength correctly, then press the play button to arm the meter. Now you can fire your laser. After typically 5 seconds the measured power will then be displayed.
The PRONTO-250 range is suitable for many common lasers from 1–250 W. It can measure fibre, YAG, UV, green and CO₂ lasers, provided the relevant power and energy density limits are respected. For improved accuracy at CO₂ wavelengths, choose a model with CO₂ (C) calibration.
Yes, the PRONTO-250-EZ is specifically adapted for dirty settings and can be cleaned on the go without affecting its high-precision measurement capabilities.
