Laser Energy Sensors measure 500 pW to 3 W light levels.
February 2, 2010 -
Available in 4 models, PD300-R Circular Photodiode Sensors feature round geometry and SM-1 threads for mounting/centering on collinear optical bench systems. They include filter that minimizes light level on detector and allows for measurements up to 30 mW without saturation, while second, removable filter allows measurements up to 3 W. Low-noise energy detectors measure wavelengths up to 1,800 nm and work with all Ophir smart meters and PC interfaces.

Ophir-Spiricon Introduces Circular Laser Energy Sensors for Easy Centering
Compact, low noise photodiode energy detector provides wide dynamic range, from picoWatts to Watts
San Francisco, CA - Ophir-Spiricon, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today announced the PD300-R line of Circular Photodiode Sensors. Identical in performance to the company's popular PD300 laser detectors, the PD300-R feature round geometry for easy mounting and centering on collinear optical bench systems. SM-1 mounting threads on all components ensure a fit with most optics. 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 30mW without saturation. A second, removable filter allows measurement up to 3W.
Four models are available:
- PD300-R measures from 500pW to 30mW filter out, 200µW to 300mW filter in, wavelengths from 200 - 1800nm
- PD300-R-3W measures from 5nW to 100mW filter out, 200µW to 3W filter in, wavelengths from 200 - 1800nm
- PD300-R-UV measures from 20pW to 3mW filter out, 2µW to 300mW filter in, wavelengths from 200 - 1100nm
- PD300-R-IR measures from 5nW to 30mW filter out, 200µW to 300mW filter 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.
Pricing and Availability
The PD300-R Circular Photodiode Sensors re available now. OEM pricing is available on request.
