Ophir-Spiricon Introduces Circular Laser Energy Sensors for Easy Centering

The sensors are designed to detect a wide range of light levels, from 500 picoWatts to 3W. Each device has a built-in filter that reduces the light level on the detector and allows measurements up to 30mWwithout saturation. A second, removable filter allows measurement up to 3W.

Four models are available:
• PD300-R measures from 500pWto 30mWfilter out, 200μWto 300mWfilter in, wavelengths from 200 – 1800nm
• PD300-R-3W measures from 5nWto 100mWfilter out, 200μWto 3Wfilter in, wavelengths
from 200 – 1800nm
• PD300-R-UV measures from 20pWto 3mWfilter out, 2μWto 300mWfilter in, wavelengths
from 200 – 1100nm
• PD300-R-IR measures from 5nWto 30mWfilter out, 200μWto 300mWfilter in, wavelengths
from 700 – 1800nm

“Unlike competing products, the PD300-R detectors make laser measurement truly simple,” stated Ephraim Greenfield, VP Engineering, Laser Measurement Group, Ophir-Spiricon. “They provide one of the widest dynamic ranges in the industry, and round geometry and SM-1 threads for easy mounting and centering. No additional plugs are required.” The PD300-R Circular Photodiode Sensors work with all Ophir smart meters and PC interfaces, including the Orion PE, Nova, Nova II, Vega, and LaserStar meters as well as the Juno and Pulsar PC interfaces. Each display features a “Smart Connector” interface that automatically configures and calibrates the display when plugged into one of the company’s measurement heads.
