Sensor Finder Program
Finding the proper sensor(s) to meet your measurement needs has never been easier. With our sensor finder program just enter your laser
parameters and the proper measuring sensors for your application will be displayed on the screen. The program calculates the power and
energy density capabilities of each absorber, based on the laser wavelength, pulse length, repetition rate and other relevant parameters. It
also compares all the other requirements such as maximum and minimum power, energy, beam size, etc.

1.0 Sensors
In addition to finding the right sensor for your application, the Sensor Finder Program offers the following features:

ֺֺ Report printing.
ֺֺ How close the recommended sensors are to the specified damage threshold.

Order of Selection
The sensors are selected in terms of cost effectiveness and ease of use, i.e. photodiode sensors and thermopiles are selected first and then
pyroelectric sensors. If you want to measure only power, pyro sensors will not be selected even if they could operate within all other given
laser parameters.

Aperture
Since it is not practical to allow the beam to fill the entire aperture, the sensors are selected so that the sensor aperture is always at least
2mm or 10% larger than the beam. If the beam is rectangular its corners can touch the aperture.

Using the Sensor Finder Program

The Sensor Finder Program is available for use online at:
www.ophiropt.com/sensor-finder
It can also be downloaded for use on your own PC at:

Sensor Finder Input Screen

1. When the program is started, the above screen appears: In Step 1, Select the laser type [CW or pulsed], the beam type [flat top or
Gaussian and if flat top, circular or rectangular] and whether you wish to measure both power and energy or just laser power.

2. In Step 2, Enter the required laser parameters: beam diameter, wavelength, max/min power or max/min energy, rep rate and pulse
width. If minimum power is not entered, then the program assumes the minimum is ½ the maximum.
If desired, enter these optional criteria: exposure time – the maximum time the sensor measures at a time. If you only plan to
measure the laser power for short periods at a time, Ophir offers more compact sensors for intermittent use.
Sensor size – only sensors smaller than the specified dimensions will be selected.

Damage Threshold
Some sensors are closer to the laser damage threshold than others. Since the damage threshold can vary somewhat from case to case and
also is cumulative, the Sensor Finder Program mentions how close a particular sensor is to the damage threshold. The displayed percent of
damage threshold is the highest of either the power or the energy threshold. It is recommended to select a sensor that is less than 50% of
the damage threshold.

General Introduction
Types of Power/Energy Sensors
Power and Single Shot Energy Sensors
Ophir provides two types of power sensors: Photodiode sensors and Thermal sensors. Photodiode sensors are used for low powers from
picowatts up to hundreds of milliwatts and as high as 3W. Thermal sensors are for use from fractions of a milliwatt up to thousands of watts.

1.0 Sensors
Thermal sensors can also measure single shot energy at pulse rates not exceeding one pulse every ~5s.

Repetitive Pulse Energy Sensors

For higher pulse rates, Ophir has pyroelectric energy sensors able to measure pulse rates up to tens of kHz. These are described in the energy
sensor section, section 1.2.

Thermal Sensors
The thermopile sensor has a series of bimetallic junctions. A temperature difference
between any two junctions causes a voltage to be formed between the two junctions. Laser
impinges
Since the junctions are in series and the «hot» junctions are always on the inner, hotter side, here
and the «cold» junctions are on the outer, cooler side, radial heat flow on the disc causes
a voltage proportional to the power input. Laser power impinges on the center of the
thermopile sensor disc (on the reverse side of the thermopile), flows radially and is cooled Hot
junction
on the periphery. The array of thermocouples measures the temperature gradient, which is
proportional to the incident or absorbed power. In principle, the reading is not dependent Cold
on the ambient temperature since only the temperature difference affects the voltage junction
generated and the voltage difference depends only on the heat flow, not on the ambient
temperature. Since all the heat absorbed flows through the thermocouples (as long as
Output
the laser beam is inside the inner circle of hot junctions), the response of the detector is
almost independent of beam size and position. If the beam is close to the edge of the inner
circle, some thermocouples become hotter than others but since the sum of all of them
is measured, the reading remains the same. Generally, Ophir specifies ±2% uniformity of
reading over the surface or better.

BeamTrack Power / Position / Size sensors

Ophir now has the new BeamTrack thermal sensor that can measure beam position 2nd
and beam size as well as power. This innovative device provides an additional wealth of Quad
information on your laser beam – centering, beam position and wander, beam size as well
as power and single shot energy. The BeamTrack sensor is illustrated schematically here and
works as follows: the signal coming from the sensor is now divided into 4 quadrants so by
measuring and comparing the output from the 4 sections we can determine the position 1st
of the center of the beam to a high degree of accuracy. In addition to the 4 quadrants, Quad
there is now a special proprietary beam size detector. After processing outputs from these Beam size

will give relative size information and will indicate if the beam is changing size. For more 4th Quad

information on the BeamTrack sensors, please see section 1.1.3

Using Power Sensors to Measure Single Shot Energy

Although Ophir thermal power sensors are used primarily to measure power, they can measure single shot energy as well where they integrate
the power over time flowing through the disc and thus measure energy. Since the typical time it takes for the disc to heat up and cool down is
several seconds, these thermal sensors can only measure one pulse every several seconds at most. Thus they are suitable for what is called “single
shot” measurement. Although the response time of the sensor discs is slow, there is no limit to how short the pulses measured are since the
measurement is of the heat flowing through the disc after the pulse.

 Pyroelectric Sensors
Pyroelectric type sensors are useful for measuring the energy of repetitively pulsed
lasers at up to 25,000Hz and are sensitive to low energies.
They are less durable than thermal types and therefore should not be used Heat sink disc
whenever it is not necessary to measure the energy of each pulse and average
power measurement is sufficient. Pyroelectric crystal
thickness < 1mm
Pyroelectric sensors use a pyroelectric crystal that generates an electric charge
1.0 Sensors

proportional to the heat absorbed. Since the two surfaces of the crystal are
metalized, the total charge generated is collected and therefore the response is
not dependent on beam size or position. This charge then charges a capacitor in
parallel with the crystal and the voltage difference thus generated is proportional
to the pulse energy. After the energy is read by the electronic circuit, the charge on
Electrical leads
the crystal is discharged to be ready for the next pulse.

Photodiode Sensors for Lower Powers

In addition to the thermal sensors described above, Photodiode sensors Laser
are used for low powers from picowatts up to hundreds of milliwatts and Optical filter
as high as 3W. Photodiode
A photodiode sensor is a semiconductor device that produces a current
proportional to light intensity and has a high degree of linearity
over a large range of light power levels - from fractions of a nanowatt to Output
about 2mW. Above that light level, corresponding to a current
of about 1mA, the electron density in the photodiode becomes too great
and its efficiency is reduced causing saturation and a lower
reading. Most Ophir PD sensors have a built-in filter that reduces the light
level on the detector and allows measurement up to 3W
without saturation.

Types of Thermopile Discs

There is no single absorber which meets the needs of all applications. Ophir has developed several types for different applications, such
as long pulses (0.1-10ms), short pulses (<1µs) and continuous radiation. Absorbers optimized for long pulses and CW are characterized by
thin, refractory materials, since the heat can flow through the coating and into the disc during the pulse. On the other hand, heat cannot
flow during short pulses, and all the energy is deposited in a thin (typically 0.1µm) layer near the surface. This causes vaporization of the
surface which ruins the absorber. Instead, a volume absorber that is partially transparent and absorbs over a distance of 50μm -3mm is
used. This spreads the heat over a larger volume allowing much higher energies.
Ophir thermopiles can measure from tens of microwatts to Kilowatts. Nevertheless, the thermal range of operation of the discs is limited. If
the difference between the hot and cold junction temperature exceeds tens of degrees, the constant heating/cooling of the junctions can
cause premature failure in the junctions. In order to accommodate different power ranges, discs of different thicknesses and sizes are used,
thick ones for high powers and thin ones for low powers.
The response time of the discs is dependent on their size and shape: larger diameters and thicker discs are slower than thin small diameter
ones. The response time is in general dependent on the mass of material which has to heat up in the thin absorber region of the disc vs.
the speed the heat flows out of the same region. The response time is approximately proportional to the aperture, i.e. a 50mm aperture
disc is three times as slow as an 18mm aperture disc.

Thermal Surface Absorbing Sensors
A surface absorber typically consists of an optically absorbing refractory material deposited on a heat conducting substrate of copper or
aluminum. When a long pulse of several hundred µs or a continuous laser beam falls on such a surface absorber, the light is absorbed in
a very thin layer of the surface – typically 0.1 – 1µm thickness (see illustration A). Although the light is absorbed in a thin layer and there
converted into heat, the pulse is long enough so that while energy is being deposited into the surface layer, heat is also flowing out into
the heat conducting substrate and therefore the surface does not heat up excessively. Ophir standard surface absorbers can stand up to
10 Joules/cm2 for 2ms pulses and up to 28kW/cm2 for low power continuous lasers.

1.1 Sensors
Surface Absorbers for High Power Lasers and Long Pulses
The traditional surface absorbers have a much lower damage threshold at > 1000W, where they can damage at 2-3 kW/cm2. Ophir
has developed coatings that improve the damage threshold for high power lasers. These coatings are denser and have higher heat
conductivity than previous coatings. This LP1 coating also has a much higher damage threshold for long pulses reaching power damage
thresholds of up to 10kW/cm² and 200J/cm² for 10ms pulses. Surface absorbers are suitable for pulses longer than ~100µs.

Surface vs. Volume Absorbers

When measuring a laser with short pulses of tens of µs or less, the heat is deposited in a short time and cannot flow during the pulse (see
illustration B below). Therefore a surface absorber which absorbs the energy in a thin surface layer is not suitable. All the energy is deposited
in a thin layer and that layer is vaporized. In this case, volume absorbers are used. These have traditionally consisted of a neutral density glass
thermally bonded to a heat-conducting metallic substrate. The ND glass absorbs the light over a depth of 1-3 mm instead of fractions of a
micrometer. Consequently, even with short pulses where there is no heat flow, the light and heat are deposited into a considerable depth
of material and therefore the power/energy meter with aa volume absorber is able to withstand much higher energy densities – up to 10
Joules/cm2 (see illustration C). These ND glasses form the basis of the Ophir P type absorbers. In addition to the P absorbers, Ophir has PF
and SV absorbers that can stand up to higher average powers and power densities as well as EX absorbers for the UV.

Introduction to High Power Water Cooled Sensors

Ophir has many years experience in supplying measurement systems for high power
industrial lasers and has the highest power measuring equipment available on the market –
up to 100 kilowatts. Ophir meters also have the highest damage threshold available – up to
10kW/cm² at full power. Ophir supplies water cooled sensors from 300W up to 120kW and
air cooled sensors up to 500W.
All sensors supplied by Ophir have been tested at up to full power and their linearity verified
over the entire power range. This is done deflecting a fraction of the power with a beam
splitter into a lower power sensor whose linearity has previously been verified by NIST
or PTB. In some cases, it is done by measuring the reading over the power range against
a higher power sensor that has been previously measured. The accuracy, linearity and
damage specifications have been carefully verified over many years of development and use by the largest existing user base. In addition
to power meters for high powers, Ophir also has beam profilers, beam dumps and protective enclosures for industrial lasers.

 Calibration Method and Estimated Accuracy for Ophir High Power Sensors
Ophir models 5000W, 10K-W, Comet 10K and 30K-W are calibrated using relatively low power lasers not exceeding 1000W. Using laser
powers that are in many cases much lower than the power rating of the sensors being calibrated raises the question of calibration
accuracy. The following explanation clearly demonstrates that these highest power sensors are indeed accurate to ±5% over their
measurement range as specified. The 5000W, 10K-W and 30K-W sensors work on the thermopile principle, where the radial heat flow in
the absorber disk causes a temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions of the thermopile which in turn causes a voltage
1.1 Sensors

difference across the thermopile. Since the instrument is a thermopile voltage generating device, it must be linear at low values of output.
Therefore, if it has been shown to be linear up to full power – as it has - it will necessarily be linear at very low powers and if the calibration
is correct at low powers, it will remain correct at high powers as well. On the other hand, although the output may be linear at low powers,
there may be a zero offset that, due to the relatively low output at low powers, will cause an error in calibration.
For example, if calibration is performed at 200W and the output of the sensor is 10μV/W (a typical value) and there is a zero offset of only
1μV, this will cause a calibration error of 10%. Ophir’s calibration method always measures the difference between the reading with power
applied and without power applied, thus eliminating error due to zero offset. This measurement is taken several times to insure accuracy.
The above measurement method assures that the calibration inaccuracy due to measurement errors is less than 1%, comparable to the
expected errors in our lower powered sensors. In order to verify this, all of our high power sensors have been measured by comparison to
various calibration standards. These measurements have shown Ophir sensors to be well within the claimed limits of linearity. The Comet
10K series measures the heat rise of the absorbing puck when irradiated by the laser for 10s. In order to calibrate the Comet 10K, we
simply irradiate with a lower power laser for longer e.g. 150W for 60s. Thus the heating effect is similar to that of a higher power laser. Tests
of the Comet calibrated by this method vs. NIST traceable high power sensors has shown that it is accurate and reproducible. For more
information on calibration please consult our website at
www.ophiropt.com/calibration-procedure/tutorial

Photodiode Sensors
A photodiode sensor is a semiconductor device that produces a current proportional to light intensity and has a high degree of linearity
over a large range of light power levels - from fractions of a nanowatt to about 2 mW. Above that light level, corresponding to a current
of about 1mA, the electron density in the photodiode becomes too great and its efficiency is reduced causing saturation and a lower
reading. Most Ophir PD sensors have a built-in filter that reduces the light level on the detector and allows measurement up to 30mW
without saturation. Most sensors have an additional removable filter allowing measurement to 300mW or 3 Watts depending on the
model.

Principle of Operation
When a photon source, such as a laser, is directed at a photodiode detector, a current proportional to the light intensity and dependent
on the wavelength is created. Since many low power lasers have powers on the order of 5 to 30mW, and most photodiode detectors
saturate at about 2mW, the PD300 sensor has been constructed with a built-in filter so the basic sensor can measure up to 30mW without
saturation. With the removable extra filter, the PD300 sensors series can measure up to 300mW or 3W depending on the model.
The Ophir power meter unit amplifies this signal and indicates the power level received by the sensor. Due to the superior circuitry of
the Ophir power meters, the noise level is very low and the PD300 series sensors with Ophir power meter have a large dynamic range
from picowatts to watts. The PD300 is shown schematically below. The PD300 and PD300-3W have the exclusive patented dual detectors
connected back to back which eliminate any signal illuminating both detectors equally (background light).

Calibration and Accuracy

The sensitivity of various photodiode sensors varies from one sensor Laser hits # 1 Removable filter

to another as well as with wavelength. Therefore, each PD300 Built-in filter

sensor is individually calibrated against a NIST standard, which has

been calibrated at several nm intervals over the entire spectral
range. The calibration is done over the entire spectral range against
Photodiode # 1
the NIST standard using a computer-controlled monochromator.
Photodiode # 2
Since the instruments are calibrated against NIST standards,
the accuracy is generally ±3% over the wavelength range the
calibration has been performed. The linearity of the photodiode detector is extremely high and errors due to this factor can be ignored, as
long as saturation intensity is not approached. For more information on calibration accuracy please see our website at:

1.1.1.4 Integrating Spheres

Introduction
Ophir Integrating Spheres are meant to measure divergent light sources such as LEDs. The light is introduced to the sphere through the
input port, it is reflected many times by the highly reflecting diffuse coating on the inner wall of the sphere until it uniformly illuminates
the inner surface of the sphere. A detector samples given small fraction of this light and thus can be used to measure the total power

input into the sphere.

Ophir integrating spheres have a highly reflecting diffuse white coating for high efficiency and readings that are independent of beam
size, position and divergence.

Divergent vs. Collimating Beam Input Considerations

Ophir Integrating Spheres can be used either with divergent input or collimated input as shown below. In order for an integrating sphere
sensor to operate properly, the beam should never directly hit the detector and the detector should only see rays reflected from the wall.
The diagram below shows how the sphere can be used with either a collimated or diverging beam. The sphere opening that is not being
used is closed with a reflective plug.

This integrating sphere configuration is ideal for a divergent This integrating sphere configuration is ideal for a collimated
beam such as a laser diode beam source such as a collimated laser beam

Ophir has 1.5” spheres for 350 – 1100nm and for 800 – 1700nm and 4 different 5.3” spheres covering UV, visible, NIR and photometric
CIE measurements at up to 30 Watts. There is a North pole port suitable for a small amount of light to be picked off via SMA fiber for
wavelength measurement or any further analysis without affecting the overall system calibration. To maintain accuracy and guarantee
performance, annual integrating sphere detector calibration is recommended.
Note that the system calibration is no longer valid if any component is changed from the original calibrated configuration. For a very
high power level, elevated temperature of the integrating sphere system can affect the measurement accuracy, so the sphere must be
properly cooled.

Self-Absorption Calibration Accessory for the 3A-IS Integrating Sphere (AUX-LED)

DRAWN T.M. 12.09
APPR. A.R.

The detector inside the 3A-IS is calibrated for operation with the aperture unobstructed. Diffused light that reaches the aperture from
inside the sphere freely exits. This will also hold true when the light source is mounted on an absorbing surface and placed in front of the
sphere. The effect of self-absorption is noticed when part of the aperture is blocked by a reflective material or if the light source protrudes
into the sphere. In these examples, the geometry and reflectance of the sphere are changed, leading to errors of up to ±20%.
This effect can be corrected for by using the AUX-LED self-absorption auxiliary light source as shown in the following illustration. A reading
is taken of the 390nm Auxiliary LED output with the light source to be measured installed and then again with it not installed. From these
measurements we can get a measurement corrected for the effect of the light source as shown in the formula below.
The AUX-LED emits at 390nm, and thus is optimized for measuring UV LEDs in the range of 365nm-400nm. For other LED wavelengths,
please contact Ophir. The accessory is attached to the 3A-IS using two screws.

1.1.2.7 High Power Thermal Sensors

1.1.2.7.1 Introduction

1W to 120kW

Introduction to High Power Water Cooled Sensors

1.1.2.7 Sensors
Ophir has many years experience in supplying measurement systems for high power industrial lasers and has the highest power
measuring equipment available on the market – up to 100 kilowatts. Ophir meters also have the highest damage threshold available – up
to 10kW/cm² at full power. Ophir supplies water cooled sensors from 300W up to 120kW and air cooled sensors up to 500W.
All sensors supplied by Ophir have been tested at up to full power and their linearity verified over the entire power range. This is done
deflecting a fraction of the power with a beam splitter into a lower power sensor whose linearity has previously been verified by NIST
or PTB. In some cases, it is done by measuring the reading over the power range against a higher power sensor that has been previously
measured.
The accuracy, linearity and damage specifications have been carefully verified over many years of development and use by the largest
existing user base.
In addition to power meters for high powers, Ophir also has beam profilers, beam dumps and protective enclosures for industrial lasers.

Calibration Method and Estimated Accuracy for Ophir High Power Sensors
Ophir models 5000W, 10K-W, Comet 10K and 30K-W are
calibrated using relatively low power lasers not exceeding
1000W. Using laser powers that are in many cases
much lower than the power rating of the sensors being
calibrated raises the question of calibration accuracy. The
following explanation clearly demonstrates that these
highest power sensors are indeed accurate to ±5% over
their measurement range as specified. The 5000W, 10K-W
and 30K-W sensors work on the thermopile principle,
where the radial heat flow in the absorber disk causes
a temperature difference between the hot and cold
junctions of the thermopile which in turn causes
a voltage difference across the thermopile. Since the
instrument is a thermopile voltage generating device, it
must be linear at low values of output. Therefore, if it has
been shown to be linear up to full power – as it has - it
will necessarily be linear at very low powers and if the calibration is correct at low powers, it will remain correct at high powers as well. On
the other hand, although the output may be linear at low powers, there may be a zero offset that, due to the relatively low output at low
powers, will cause an error in calibration.
For example, if calibration is performed at 200W and the output of the sensor is 10μV/W (a typical value) and there is a zero offset of only
1μV, this will cause a calibration error of 10%.

Ophir’s calibration method always measures the difference between the reading with power applied and without power applied, thus
eliminating error due to zero offset. This measurement is taken several times to insure accuracy. The above measurement method assures
that the calibration inaccuracy due to measurement errors is less than 1%, comparable to the expected errors in our lower powered
sensors. In order to verify this, all of our high power sensors have been measured by comparison to various calibration standards. These
measurements have shown Ophir sensors to be well within the claimed limits of linearity.

The Comet 10K series measures the heat rise of the absorbing puck when irradiated by the laser for 10s. In order to calibrate the Comet
10K, we simply irradiate with a lower power laser for longer e.g. 150W for 60s. Thus the heating effect is similar to that of a higher power
laser. Tests of the Comet calibrated by this method vs. NIST traceable high power sensors has shown that it is accurate and reproducible.

LP1 sensors have relatively large spectral variation in absorption and have a calibrated spectral curve at all wavelengths in their
spectral range to the above specified accuracy. Nova, Orion and LaserStar meters do not support this feature and when used with
those meters, accuracy will be ±3% for 1.06µm and 10.6µm, and ±6% for other wavelengths in the spectral range 600-1100nm.

1.1.2.7.3 Accessories for High Power Sensors

1.1.2.7.3.2 Scatter Shield

Scatter Shield for mounting on front flange of 10K-W and 30K-W to reduce backscattered power.

1.1.2.7 Sensors
3 to 4% of the light impinging on the 10K-W and 30K-W is backscattered in a diffuse manner. This can cause heating of surrounding surfaces.
Scatter Shields are available to greatly reduce this affect. When installed on the front flange of the sensors, they will reduce the backscatter
by about 70%.
The shield works in two ways:
1. By absorbing much of the backscattered light.
2. By reflecting some of it back into the sensor where that light is reabsorbed.

Since some of the light is reabsorbed, the power reading is 1-1.5% higher than without the shield, so an additional laser setting is given for use
when the shield is mounted to adjust for this difference.

 1.1.3 BeamTrack Power / Position / Size Sensors

1.1.3.1 Introduction
Ophir now has the BeamTrack line of thermal sensors that can measure beam position and beam size while measuring power. This innovative
device will provide an additional wealth of information on your laser beam – centering, beam position, beam wander, beam size as well as power
and single shot energy. The BeamTrack sensor is illustrated schematically here and works as follows: the signal coming from the sensor is divided
into 4 quadrants so by measuring and comparing the output from the 4 sections we can determine the position of the center of the beam to
1.1.3 Sensors

a high degree of accuracy. In addition to the 4 quadrants, there is now a special patented beam size detector. After processing outputs from
these various detectors, the user is presented with the beam position as well as beam size. Note that the beam size is calibrated only for Gaussian
beams but for other beams it will give relative size information and will indicate if the beam is changing size.

Operation of BeamTrack Sensors

BeamTrack sensors look similar to Ophir thermal sensors of the same type except that there is a small
electronics module on the cable from the sensor to the smart plug. When BeamTrack sensors are
plugged into compatible displays or PC interfaces (Nova II, Vega, StarLite and Juno), along with the
power measurement, there is a visual display of the beam position and beam size. The beam position
can be accurately tracked and logged for beam wander measurements.

The beam size is calibrated only for Gaussian beams but other beams may be measured and the
sensor will give a repeatable measurement of the relative beam size for tracking changes in the size
of the beam over time.

allows measurement of the energy of high energy repetitively pulsed lasers which is of
advantages over pyroelectric measurement in certain cases: higher average powers than a pyroelectric and high duty cycles up to 70% which
are typical of switched diode lasers.
The basic approach is to incorporate two sensors in one measurement head. The RP measurement head has a standard thermopile type
detector enabling it to measure average laser power to a high degree of accuracy, generally ±3%. In addition, it contains a fast photodiode
detector, which measures the energy of the laser pulses in real time. The photodiode detector is mounted so that a fraction of the radiation
falling on the thermopile absorber, 4% to 15% depending on head type, is scattered from the absorber. A fraction of that falls on the
photodiode (see illustration below). (There is also a larger, fast photodiode connected directly to an oscilloscope via the BNC connector
enabling it to measure the temporal pulse shape of the beam to a resolution of ns.)
Combining the average power measurement with the relative pulse energy and repetition rate, the unit calculates the absolute energy per
pulse.

The user threshold feature allows adjustment of the internal threshold up to 25% of full scale if desired to avoid false triggering in noisy environments. For highest accuracy, it is
recommended to zero the sensor against the meter the first time it is used with a particular meter. For further information, see the FAQs on our Website.

Note: (b) For >7% (>10% for PE9-ES-C) of full scale, with the "user threshold" setting set to minimum. For other settings, the spec is for >7%/>10% of full scale or greater than twice the "user
threshold", whichever is greater.
The user threshold is available with Nova II, Vega, StarLite or Juno. For other meters, the threshold is set to minimum and the linearity spec is >10% of full scale. The PE-C series will only operate
with Nova or Orion meters with an additional adapter Ophir P/N 7Z08272 (see page 79). The adapter can introduce up to 1% additional measurement error.
The user threshold feature allows adjustment of the internal threshold up to 25% of full scale if desired to avoid false triggering in noisy environments. The user threshold setting represents
the approximate minimum energy for pulse widths below ~50% of the pulse width setting. For longer pulse widths, the actual minimum may be higher. For highest accuracy, it is
recommended to zero the sensor against the meter the first time it is used with a particular meter. For further information, see the FAQs on our Website.
Note: (c) A shock absorbing mounting post is available for situations in which sensor is mounted on a surface subject to shock or vibration. This can prevent false triggering and allow working
at lower minimum energies (see accessory page 79 for mounting post).
Note: (d) With the Laserstar, Pulsar, USBI, Quasar and Nova/Orion with adapter, only 2 out of 3 pulse widths settings are available; the 1µs (displayed as “10µs”) and the 2µs (displayed as “20µs”).

Notes: (a) Calibration accuracy at various wavelengths as Specified wavelengths: Calibrated at 1064nm Calibrated at 1064nm,
specified here. 248-266nm, 355nm, 532nm, 1064nm, 2100nm and 2940nm. 532nm and 2100nm only
At other wavelengths, there may be an additional error up to Max additional error at other wavelengths not specified above: Max additional error at other
the value given. ±3%. <240nm not calibrated wavelengths is ±2%
Notes: (b) For wavelengths >2.1μm, derate to 10% of above values.
For wavelengths below 600nm, derate to
60% of given values (for DIFH 50% of given values).
For wavelengths below 240nm, derate to 1J/cm².
For beam size <=5mm. For 10mm beam, derate to 50% of
above values.
Notes: (c) With the "user threshold" setting set to minimum. For other settings, the spec is for >7% of full scale or greater than twice the "user threshold", whichever is greater.
The user threshold is available with Nova II, Vega, StarLite or Juno. For other meters, the threshold is set to minimum and the linearity spec is >10% of full scale. The PE-C series will only
operate with Nova or Orion meters with an additional adapter Ophir P/N 7Z08272 (see page 79). The adapter can introduce up to 1% additional measurement error.
The user threshold feature allows adjustment of the internal threshold up to 25% of full scale if desired to avoid false triggering in noisy environments. The user threshold setting represents
the approximate minimum energy for pulse widths below ~50% of the pulse width setting. For longer pulse widths, the actual minimum may be higher. For highest accuracy, it is
recommended to zero the sensor against the meter the first time it is used with a particular meter. For further information, see the FAQs on our Website.
Notes: (d) A shock absorbing mounting post is available for situations in which sensor is mounted on a surface subject to shock or vibration. This can prevent false triggering and allow
working at lower minimum energies. Note however, that in this case the maximum average power will be reduced to 13W without heat sink and 25W with heat sink (see accessory pages
78-79 for heat sink and mounting post).
Notes: (e) With the Laserstar, Pulsar, USBI, Quasar and Nova/Orion with adapter only 2 of the pulse width settings are available. For the PE-BF models the 1ms and 10ms settings and for the
PE-BB model the 3ms and 10ms settings. Furthermore, with the diffuser mounted, the sensor may saturate at lower than the maximum energy in some cases. Therefore it is recommended to
use these sensors with the newer meters/PC interfaces.

1.3 OEM Solutions
Ophir – The World Leading Source for Custom Designed Laser Measurement Solutions
1.3.1 Introduction
Many laser systems manufacturers need to have a measuring capability built into their systems.

1.3 Sensors
Ophir is the world’s leading supplier of OEM laser power/energy measurement instrumentation which can be built into host systems (such
as medical, industrial, etc). With extensive experience accumulated in the field, Ophir offers the largest variety of OEM products both off
the shelf and custom designed and is therefore best able to satisfy customer requirements.

Many configurations possible

An OEM solution is usually needed to monitor laser performance in the system, and possibly to provide fast feedback for system control.
Depending on your application, various configurations can be used, such as:

ֺֺ Just a sensor, with raw analog output

ֺֺ Sensor with electronics providing an amplified analog or digital output

ֺֺ Complete instrument, including numeric display and/or PC interface

ֺֺ Custom designed solution for special requirements

In the following pages, you will see a range of "standard" OEM sensors available; these are actually families of existing OEM sensors with
typical specifications shown. They can be tailored as needed to fit your specific requirements.

In addition to the products described below, Ophir has developed hundreds of other OEM solutions. Simply contact your Ophir
representative who is likely to have just the right solution to your needs.

 1.3.2 Thermal and Photodiode OEM Sensors
1.3.2.1 Sensor Usage

Ophir pioneered compact self-contained laser power meter sensors with built-in amplifiers. These sensors are easy to install and give a
calibrated voltage proportional to power. They contain all the electronics needed including a speed up circuit to increase the speed of
response of the sensor to the order of 1s, 0-95%. Connections to the sensors are simple, with the host providing DC power and the sensor
1.3.2 Sensors

providing a voltage or digital output proportional to power.

In most cases, the sensor is used in one of three ways:

1. Beam Dump Mode
For lasers, such as surgical lasers, which are used in short bursts, the sensor is a beam dump with full power on it at all times except for
the short periods of beam use when the beam is deflected to the work area.

2. Sampling Mode
In this mode, the laser is usually available to the user and is only deflected to the monitor for short times when the beam is sampled by
the sensor. Sampling is performed with a deflection mirror or with an output fiber optic cable which is inserted into the measuring port
from time to time.

3. Rear Leak Mode

In this mode, a small fraction (0.5-2%) of the laser beam “leaks” out of the rear mirror of the laser and is constantly monitored by the
sensor.

1.3.2.2 Advantages of Ophir Thermal and Photodiode OEM Sensors

Compactness
Available in sizes down to 38x38x25mm or 48x48x15mm or even smaller with special designs.

Versatility

1.3.2.2 Sensors
Ophir offers OEM sensors for almost any type of laser, for any power or configuration. Although the power measured with thermal sensors
usually ranges from 1-150 watts, the sensors can measure from nW or µJ or mJ to Kilowatts or hundreds of Joules, and can be cooled with
water, air or conduction. Ophir offers a large selection of standard OEM sensors at competitive prices and with excellent delivery times. If
required, the package, including the connectors, can be customized to customer specifications.

Reliability and accuracy

Ophir’s thermal measuring sensors use the reliable and accurate thermopile disc principle: the output is a low impedance voltage
proportional to power. The thermopile disc samples the entire beam, making it more accurate than silicon detectors that sample only part
of the beam. Suitable absorbers which will not burn out or change reading with high power density lasers are available for any application.
The Ophir photodiode OEM sensors have very wide dynamic range and with software switchable ranges, one can easily cover 5 decades
of intensity.

Calibration
Ophir sensors can be factory calibrated at all required wavelengths.

In addition to the sensors described below, Ophir offers a number of other OEM sensors with larger aperture, diffusers in front, special
absorbers, single sided amplifiers (± voltage and ground is not required, only + voltage and ground) and other special features. Ophir also
offers an OEM version of the Nova power meter consisting of just circuit boards with no casing.

Possible configurations of thermal or photodiode OEM solutions include:

ֺֺ Sensor with either raw or amplified analog output – purchasing a sensor mounted into a housing with amplifier reduces noise
and allows you to get a factory calibrated unit with optimized response time acceleration

ֺֺ Sensor with RS232 interface – for direct RS232 interface of the OEM sensor with the host computer

ֺֺ Sensor with USB interface – for direct USB interface of the OEM sensor with the host computer

ֺֺ Complete solution including sensor and meter – this provides a visual display for the operator (numeric, Go/No Go, etc). This
can also be in addition to the RS232 or USB output

ֺֺ Disc with raw analog output – the lowest cost solution when there is no need for an amplified signal, and a relative measurement
is enough. Typical output voltage is on the order of mV/W

ֺֺ Disc with separate amplifier board – when space is critical, and amplified analog output is needed

1.3.3 Pyroelectric OEM Sensors
1.3.3.1 Pyroelectric OEM Sensors - Introduction
Ophir manufactures three main types of pyroelectric OEM sensors:

ֺֺ Compact pyro sensors with no electronics with output connected to the host electronics. Since the energy of pyro sensors is

1.3.3 Sensors
proportional to the peak to valley voltage output and not the maximum voltage output, the user has to take this into account in
designing the electronic interface (see below)

ֺֺ Pyroelectric sensors identical with standard PE-C sensors but with RS232 or analog output instead of connection to smart sensor

ֺֺ Compact smart PE-C sensors with the electronics in a separate electronics module

Typical output from a non amplified pyroelectric sensor appears as follows:

Ophir non amplified pyroelectric sensor output for repetitively pulsing laser

In the example shown above using a non amplified sensor, note that energy is proportional to ΔV and not to the voltage above the zero
level. Note also that the peak rapidly decays and therefore the output depends on pulse rate and duration. It follows therefore that in order
to measure pyroelectric pulses, the voltage level must be known before the pulse and must also compensate for pulse rate (or work at a
low enough pulse rate for the correction to be rendered negligible).

When using a sensor with built-in electronics, typical output appears as follows:

Output from Ophir pyroelectric OEM sensor with built-in signal conditioning

Note that the output voltage is now proportional to the energy and since the voltage is held for a fixed time, the output is much less
dependent on pulse rate or duration.
In the above example, the user does not need to perform any signal conditioning but simply has to read the voltage level or get the ouput
in digital form to determine the energy. The output is also available in digital form via RS232.
