photodiodes from LaserPoint. They convert incident laser photons into charge carriers (electrons and holes). These are then measured as voltage or current. Since photodiodes are low noise and high sensitivity They are ideal for detecting very low light levels. Therefore, they are ideal for measuring low-power CW lasers.
Compared to thermal sensors, photodiodes have a limited spectral operating range and a low saturation value (approx. 1 mW/cm²). Therefore, when measuring relatively high powers, it is often necessary to attenuation filter On the other hand, they are the ideal choice for very low power measurements and when a fast response time is required.
Our photodiode series from LaserPoint can provide performance up to 500 mW and covers a wavelength range that is UV until near infrared (NIR) enough, i.e. from 200 nm to 1800 nm. They are also equipped with fiber adapters (SMA, ST, FC, LC, SC), which expands their application possibilities.
The sensors are traceable to NIST and PTB standards calibrated and are provided with a calibration certificate This ensures the highest measurement accuracy and reliability. They can also be used with DB15 connectivity or with USB and RS-232 port to enable easy integration into your systems.
Advantages of our photodiodes
Our photodiodes offer numerous advantages. They are extremely sensitive and have low noise, making them ideal for detecting the lowest power values. They also enable a fast response time, which is particularly important in applications with rapid signal changes. The availability of various fiber adapters means they can be used flexibly and are easy to integrate.
Our photodiode sensors stand for precision and reliability. If you have any further questions about the systems, please feel free to send us a non-binding inquiry. Further information about the products and all technical data sheets for each variant can be found here: Laserpoint.eu.
