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. 'With the PM15K+ and backscatter shield for the PM10K+, users now have more tools to measure high-power lasers accurately, efficiently, and safely.' Both new offerings are generally available and are fully compatible with the Coherent LabMax-Pro and PowerMax-Pro systems, supporting a wide range of industrial manufacturing, scientific, and medical laser applications.

Highest Paid CEO In America Bagged A Nine-Figure Package Beating Tim Cook, Satya Nadella And Bob Iger
Jim Anderson, the freshly appointed chief executive of laser‑equipment maker Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR), tops the 2024 leaderboard for CEO pay with a staggering $101.5 million package — the only nine‑figure haul in a new study that looked at CEO compensation structures across American companies with a revenue of $1 billion and more. What Happened: According to the Equilar 100 study, Anderson joined the Saxonburg, Pa., firm in June 2024 with a pro‑rated cash salary of just $81,538 and a $500,000 signing bonus, but Coherent's board sweetened the pot with more than $100 million in stock awards, according to its proxy filing. Don't Miss: He edges out Starbucks boss Brian Niccol, who collected $95.8 million, and eclipses marquee names such as Microsoft Corp's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Satya Nadella ($79.1 million), Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) Tim Cook ($74.6 million) and Disney's (NYSE:DIS) Bob Iger ($40.6 million). Equilar's snapshot, which reviews proxy statements filed through March 31, pegs median CEO compensation at $25.6 million, up 9.5% from a year earlier. Sky‑high equity grants are doing the heavy lifting: median stock awards jumped 40.5% and now account for nearly three‑quarters of total pay. What To Know: A rather recent report from Oxfam warns that global income inequality is widening. CEOs now earn 50% more in real terms than they did in 2019, while rank‑and‑file wages barely budged. In a joint study with the International Trade Union Confederation, the charity examined nearly 2,000 firms in 35 countries and found that average chief executive pay hit $4.3 million in 2024, up from $2.9 million five years ago after inflation. Workers, by contrast, saw their paychecks edge up just 0.9% over the same span. The researchers pulled full compensation packages — including bonuses and stock options — from the S&P Capital IQ database and called for sweeping reforms to what they deem a system "rigged for the ultra‑rich." Separate data only highlight the gap: only 19 U.S. households — among them Elon Musk, Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos — added a collective $1 trillion to their net worth last year.
