Using single diffuser to cover UV, Visible, and Mid-IR wavelengths, E50BF-DIF Pyroelectric Detector has broadband absorber that accurately collects measurements from 193 nm to 3 µm. Unit's 35 mm aperture measures repetition rates to 120 Hz with pulse widths up to 5 ms. Damage threshold for UV wavelengths ranges from 4 J/cm² at less than 100 ns to 80 J/cm² at 5 ms. Featuring 46 mm aperture, non-diffuser Model PE50PB has damage threshold of 800 mJ/cm² for Q switched lasers.
Ophir-Spiricon's New PE50BF Series Laser Energy Sensors Provide Highest Damage Threshold, Widest Range of Wavelengths
June 16, 2009 - Munich, Germany - Ophir-Spiricon, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today announced at LASER World of Photonics the PE50BF-DIF Pyroelectric Detector, the energy sensor with the highest damage threshold and widest spectral range in the industry. The PE50BF-DIF has a fast broadband absorber that accurately collects measurements from 193nm to 3µm at pulse rates to 120Hz. While most high damage threshold detectors require multiple diffusers to cover the spectral range, the PE50BF-DIF uses a single diffuser to cover UV, Visible, and Mid-IR wavelengths. This results in an accurate and flexible system that handles a wide range of measurement requirements. The sensor works with most types of pulsed lasers, from short to long pulse, and from low to high energy.
The PE50BF-DIF Pyroelectric Detector features a 35mm aperture that measures repetition rates to 120Hz with pulse widths of up to 5ms. The detector provides the highest damage threshold in the industry for UV wavelengths and is among the highest for all others, ranging from 4 J/cm2 at <100ns to 80 J/cm2 at 5ms. A non-diffuser version is also available, the PE50BF. Its 46mm aperture has the highest damage threshold of any non-diffuser detector on the market, 800mJ/cm2 for Q switched lasers.
"The PE50BF-DIF is the most versatile laser energy sensor on the market,"
stated Ephraim Greenfield, VP Engineering, Laser Measurement Group, Ophir-Spiricon Inc. "It is the only energy sensor that can measure from Far UV to IR, from short Q switched pulses to millisecond pulses, and from hundreds of micro Joules to dozens of Joules. This makes it ideal for pulse-to-pulse measurements from high energy Nd:YAG pump lasers, from the fundamental 1064nm to the quadrupled 266nm line, and for measuring all the energy per pulse from broadly tunable OPO's and OPA's."
The PE50BF and PE50BF-DIF work with all Ophir smart displays or PC interfaces, including the Orion PE, Nova, Nova II, Vega, LaserStar, USBI, Pulsar, and Quasar. Each display features a "Smart Connector" interface that automatically configures and calibrates the display when plugged into one of the company's measurement heads.
Pricing and Availability
The PE50BF and PE50BF-DIF Pyroelectric Detectors are available now. OEM pricing available on request.
