パルスレーザ:パワーとエネルギーの計算
パルスレーザからの放射光が、使用するデバイスや用途に適合するかどうかを判断する上で、レーザの製造元から提供されていないパラメータを参照しなければならない場合があります。このような場合、一般には入手可能な情報から必要なパラメータを算出することが可能です。次のような場合を含めて、必要な結果を得るには、ピークパルスパワー、平均パワー、パルスエネルギ、その他の関連するパラメータを必要とすることがあります。
- 生物試料を損傷させないように保護する
- フォトディテクタなどのセンサにダメージを与えることなくパルスレーザ光を測定する
- 物質内で蛍光や非線形効果を得るために励起を行う
パルスレーザ光のパラメータは下の図1および表に示します。参照用として、計算式の一覧を以下に示します。資料を ダウンロードしていただくと、これらの計算式のほかに、パルスレーザ光の概要、異なるパラメータ間の関係性、および計算式の適用例がご覧いただけます。

当社では、幅広いパワーメータ&エネルギーメータ用コンソールやパワーセンサ・エネルギーセンサを操作するためのインターフェイスを取り揃えています。 主な仕様は下記でご覧いただけるので、お客様の用途に適したモデルをお選びいただけます。 下記のほかに、センサ内蔵のワイヤレスパワーメータや小型USBパワーメータもご用意しております。
当社のパワーメータ等用のコンソールやインターフェイスは、Cシリーズのセンサとお使いいただく場合は接続したセンサの種類を自動的に認識し、電流値とそれに応じた電圧値を測定します。 Cシリーズのセンサは、コネクタ内に感度特性の校正データが保存されています。 コンソールは、入射波長に対応する感度の値を読み出し、パワーもしくはエネルギの測定値を計算します。
- フォトダイオードセンサは、入射光の光パワーと波長によって決まる電流を流します。 この電流は、トランスインピーダンスアンプに送られ、このアンプから入力電流に比例した電圧が出力されます。 フォトダイオードの感度は波長に依存するため、正確なパワーの測定値を得るためには、コンソールに正しい波長を入力する必要があります。 コンソールは、接続されたセンサから、入力された波長における感度を読み取り、測定した光電流から光パワーを計算します。
- サーマルセンサは、入射された光パワーに比例した電圧を送ります。 測定されたセンサの出力電圧とその感度特性に基づいて、コンソールは入射した光パワーを計算します。
- エネルギーセンサは焦電効果に基づいています。 したがって、エネルギーセンサは、パルスエネルギに比例したピーク電圧を送ります。 エネルギーセンサが認識されると、コンソールはピーク電圧ディテクタを活用し、センサの感度特性からパルスエネルギが計算されます。
コンソールやインターフェイスはセンサが出力する電流や電圧を表示する機能も備えています。 または、測定された電流や電圧をアナログ出力で得ることもできます。

 (posted 2024-10-24 10:35:45.49) S130C, slide in/out, a big gap more than 10% between two different results. Why? jjadvani
 (posted 2024-10-24 04:36:42.0) Thank you very much for contacting us. There are several reasons why you see that difference. First is that your sensor is out of calibration. Secondly ND filter got damaged while using with high power laser. Another reason could be change in incident angle, as this sensor has reflective ND filter in front. It is necessary to hit sensor surface perpendicular. Our local team from China will contact you directly to provide further support. Magnus Madsen
 (posted 2024-10-11 12:49:53.407) Why is the detector not sensitive at shorter wavelengths. Looking at the curve, there seems to be response down to 1000nm. Is it not possible to set the controller to measure here - although I will be well aware, that it is not calibrated that low? It could still be possible to read out the response, I guess?? I only want to use it for a relative measurements at 1030nm and at 1064nm. hchow
 (posted 2024-10-14 05:18:53.0) Dear Mr. Madsen, thank you for your feedback. The S148C is an Extended InGaAs type photodiode detector, whose responsivity is sensitive between 1200 - 2500 nm. This is the wavelength range it is meant to be used in, according to the vendor from whom we source the sensor disc from. If you are looking to use a photodiode sensor at 1030 nm or at 1064 nm, I would suggest getting the S144C for e.g.. In any case, I will personally reach out to you to provide more information about suitable products. Thank you. user
 (posted 2024-05-18 12:27:11.367) I was excited to find this this item, because it is really useful to mount a 10mm cube or prism e.g. on a rotation mount in a compact way. It could be added to the appropriate pages, although a nylon tipped screw would be better in that case.
Also there could be versions for the different cube sizes (5mm / 12.7mm). hkarpenko
 (posted 2024-05-21 10:57:14.0) Dear Julian,
thank you for your kind feedback.
This item was initially intented to be used to attach the slim photodiode sensor S116C to other components with 1 inch threadings. For mounting beam splitter cubes we have other different mounting options. However, it´s a good idea to use this quite small adapter SM05A29 to mount cubes with dimensions of 10mm. I will forward this to our development team to work on further design options and maybe adapt this idea to mount cubes with other dimensions as mentioned by you. Seongjae Lee
 (posted 2024-02-13 16:51:03.627) Dear Thorlabs,
Recently, I purchased S122C through BM Laser solution in South Korea.
I connected S122C to PM101 and measured output from 905 nm pulsed LD.
However, we found that the output value changes significantly by measuring setting especially "Attenuation" "Range"
Also, it shows very different value with S405C which we purchased previously.
I'm not sure with setting of S122C guarantees reliable average power of the input light.
The pulsed duration, repetition rate, average power of the 905 nm pulsed LD output is 100 ns, 1 kHz, and 12.5 mW.
Can you tell me how to set up the S122C and how to measure the reliable optical power? hkarpenko
 (posted 2024-02-14 11:50:49.0) Dear customer,
thank you very much for your feedback. Measuring pulsed laser sources with photodiode sensors can be challenging depending on the laser parameters. Especially the peak power of the laser can damage the sensor or the repetition rate is too low, thus the sensor is fast enough to follow some pulses. I will contact you directly to discuss this further with you. 諒一 芝山

 (posted 2023-08-24 16:07:02.443) Hi,
I would like to measure the average power of a ns pulsed laser (fiber coupled). I have access to the S145C integrating sphere and would like to know if I can use it for this. I saw some of your posted comments on this feedback page, and it looks like a thermal sensor might be better for an accurate power measurements. The pulsed laser specs are: 30ns in pulse length, repetition rate of 10kHz, average power of 100mW, peak power of 330W. Could you help me with this? Thank you. dpossin
 (posted 2023-08-28 09:14:49.0) Dear Marie,
Thank you for your feedback. Your intendet application does not work with photodiodes for two reasons:
The peak pulse power will saturate the photodiode
The duty cycle is way too low in order to perform average power measurement
Your are right by suggesting that a thermal sensor will be a much better choice.
I reach out to you in order to provide more detailed information. user

 (posted 2023-04-18 06:39:18.0) Dear User, thank you for your feedback. So long as your peak pulse power doesn't exceed the maximum average power density, 20 W/cm², or the maximum pulse energy, 20 µJ, your laser should be fine to use.
For continuous wave (CW) sources, the maximum average power density is equivalent to the peak power density, while for pulsed laser sources this value is calculated from the time-averaged power and beam profile. The maximum average power density is determined by the total energy deposited, so the instantaneous power can be higher, as long as the maximum pulse energy is not exceeded. Junyu Li

We make the calibration of these sensors with a beam which is incident on the sensor perpendicularly. So for best accuracy it is recommended to use these sensors at an angle of incidence which is as close to perpendicular as possible. For other angles, deviations of a couple of percent in the power readings are possible.

In the given specsheet, the lower boundary of power range is 50 nW.

 (posted 2022-09-19 04:30:58.0) Thank you very much for your feedback!
The lower limit of the power range is mainly determined by dark current in the photodiode and noise in the electronics. The 50 nW are what we can safely specify for this sensor type. It is however not a hard limit. Depending on the batch of the photodiode and on the measurement settings, you might also be able to measure power levels a little below 50 nW.

Would it be possible to use a S146C integrating sphere at this power and this wavelength?
I assume that the 20W limit of the sphere is the non-linearity of the sensor above 20W. Considering that the sensor is mush less responsive @1000nm, it would therefore be possible to go up to 40W.

The question is how integrating sphere sensors like the S142C can be cleaned. The housing may be cleaned by wiping with a soft damp cloth. The integrating sphere inner surface however cannot be cleaned and should not be touched. You can gently blow off any debris using compressed air. If this does not remove all the dirt or dust in the sphere, the sphere will probably need to be exchanged so you would need to send the sensor in for a repair.

Thank you for your help
Best nreusch
 (posted 2020-02-27 09:02:08.0) This is a response from Nicola at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your feedback! S130C comes with a Si photodiode. Photodiodes in general are sensitive to the angle of incidence. So for focused and divergent beams, you will always have parts of the beam that will not hit the sensor at a right angle, which will affect the measurement. Photodiode sensors will also not show a completely uniform response over their active area. Therefore, the specified measurement uncertainty is only valid for beam diameters larger than 1 mm. You should also take care to not overfill the sensor with a divergent beam. We will contact you directly to discuss your specific application in more detail. Matthew Kirchner

 (posted 2019-10-28 11:09:54.0) This is a response from Michael at Thorlabs. Thank you for the inquiry. The radiation scattered in the integrating sphere is almost ideally diffuse over the specified spectrum. This allows on the one hand to measure a photometric standard and on the other hand to measure the power or the total radiation flux of different light sources, independent of beam uniformity, divergence, beam shape and entrance angle, making them excellent for use with fiber sources and off-axis free space sources.
Due to the diffusivity, the power range is also higher than that of the sensors with which the radiation is measured directly, such as the S120VC.
These are therefore better suited for measurements of collimated beams with small powers.

 (posted 2019-07-12 15:15:12.757) S12X series photodiodes have a poorly modeled solidworks file, can you update the model to reflect the internal size and position of the photodiode. While the aperture is 9.5mm, the aperture appears to be 3.3mm from the photodiode based on PDF drawing. This means that when measuring divergent light, if the photodiode is not large enough to collect all the light passing through the 9.5mm aperture then the measurement will be wrong. A +-45 degree light passing through a 9.5mm aperture with detector at 3.3mm away from aperture will expand the minimum radius of the photodiode by 3.3mm to 16.1mm diameter. wskopalik
 (posted 2019-07-23 10:33:46.0) This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry!
It is generally not recommended to measure strongly divergent beams with a S12X series sensor. One reason is - as you have mentioned - that it is difficult to make sure that all the light is collected by the photodiode. In addition, photodiodes also show a dependence of the responsivity with respect to the angle of incidence. So these sensors are not ideal.
For a divergent beam e.g. the sensors of the S14X series would be much more suitable. These have an integrating sphere which makes the collection of the light easier and which also ensures that the light is shining on the photodiode perpendicularly.
I will contact you directly regarding these sensors and the drawings. Andrey Kuznetsov

The ideal case for photodiode sensors is if the beam hits the photodiode and the filter perpendicularly. This is how the sensors are calibrated so the accuracy is the highest in this case. The responsivity of photodiodes as well as the attenuation of filters depend on the angle of incidence. This means that the displayed power readings will change if the angle of incidence is changed. Thermal power sensors are more suitable for applications in which the angle changes because they have much less dependence on the angle of incidence.

Datasheet for S122C include parameter -"Measurement Uncertainty" which is equal to "+/- 5%".
and collibration has been made in accordiance with NIST.
I'd like to make clear "Measuremet Uncertainty" in data sheet is "Standard measurement uncertainty" or something else.

Thank you mvonsivers
 (posted 2018-06-05 05:15:09.0) This is a response from Moritz at Thorlabs. Thank you for your inquiry. The RoHS declaration can be found by clicking on the red document button next to the product number. The sensors are calibrated at room temperature, operating them at other temperatures will reduce the accuracy of the measurement. cyprien.lanthermann

 (posted 2018-01-15 09:28:55.797) Hi, is the sensor head is well shielded against ESD? or should the user be grounded while connecting it to the console?
Thanks, mvonsivers
 (posted 2018-01-16 08:19:12.0) This is a response from Moritz at Thorlabs. Thank you for your inquiry.
As the photodiode is mounted inside the sensor housing it is generally not as ESD sensitive as a bare photodiode. Nevertheless, the user must use handling procedures that prevent any electro static discharges or other voltage surges when handling or using these devices. mailfert
 (posted 2017-11-17 13:28:07.937) Hi,
The glass window in front of my detector is broken, not the sensor.
This window is removable so I'm trying to know if we can just buy the window without the complete sensor.Best regards. wskopalik
 (posted 2017-11-22 04:41:47.0) This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry!
We don't recommend to exchange the ND filter window on these sensors yourself because the calibration is only valid with the filter which was mounted during the calibration. There are slight differences from filter to filter. So if the filter needs to be exchanged, the sensor needs to be recalibrated after the exchange. This can only be done in our facilities.
I will contact you directly to discuss the further proceedings. lebouquj
 (posted 2017-10-11 16:47:30.52) Hi, I am interested by detection in 1200-2500nm spectral range, with minimum flux 10nW. This spectral range is only made available in Integrating-Sphere design (S148C), thus is poorly sensitive (1uW). Would it be possible to have the sensor of S148C but packaged as the S132C (which has 5nW resolution) ? Thanks wskopalik
 (posted 2017-10-16 05:06:35.0) This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry!
The photodiode used in the S148C which can cover this spectral range only has an active area of 1 mm in diameter. So with our sensor designs this photodiode only works in an integrating sphere. E.g. for the S132C design, the active area would need to be 9.7 mm x 9.7 mm in size.
Our R&D is looking into the possibility of offering a special sensor for your requirements and I will contact you directly about this. storm.liao
 (posted 2017-09-15 09:57:27.58) Would you please let me know the active area of S122C? tcampbell
 (posted 2017-09-15 11:18:45.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The active detector area of the S122C is 9.7 mm x 9.7 mm. This value can be found on the spec sheet, but we will try to make it more visible on the website. jv
 (posted 2017-09-02 08:43:39.217) It would be great to have an adapter that allows the power detector to measure the output from an FC bulkhead (female). So the adapter would have a hole that fits over the threads of the bulkhead to measure power output. We use this ALL THE TIME for calibrating our products. Could also extend the idea to other bulkhead connectors. Thanks, Janis mvonsivers
 (posted 2017-09-04 04:24:17.0) This is a response from Moritz at Thorlabs. Thank you for your feedback. I agree that such an adapter would be useful and I will gladly forward your suggestion to our R&D department. At the moment you can still measure the output by using a short patch cable which can be connected to the power sensor via an S120-FC adapter. ycandela
 (posted 2017-07-26 12:48:54.997) I would like to use it from -40°C to 63°C.What is the operating temperature range of the integrating sphere S142C ? Tx wskopalik
 (posted 2017-07-27 10:06:08.0) This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry.
The sensor itself wouldn't be damaged in this temperature range. There are however two drawbacks regarding the measurement accuracy.
First, you would need to make sure that there is no condensation inside the integrating sphere of the S142C due to the temperature change. Condensation would change the reflectivity of the sphere surface and would therefore affect the measurement values.
Second, the responsivity of Silicon photodiodes is dependent on the temperature. The calibration of these sensors is made at room temperature so you will get the most accurate reading there. In your case the temperature changes over 100K which would certainly affect the accuracy. This effect is more pronounced from 1000nm to higher wavelengths.
I will contact you directly to provide further assistance. andrey.kuznetsov
 (posted 2017-04-11 21:43:48.073) Do you have photodiodes that have 1% uncertainty error on calibration at 940nm? Newport offers several at this calibration error, but Thorlabs only seems to have 3% or more.
Do you have a typical non-uniformity map of the 10x10mm photodiode sensors? I'd like to see how a small beam spot would be affected by non-uniformity. yes, I know you recommend at least 10% and others say calibration is done at 70% fill, I want a map to see for myself the non-uniformity. wskopalik
 (posted 2017-04-12 03:48:25.0) This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry.
We might be able to offer photodiodes with calibration uncertainties below 3%. We also have data about the non-uniformity of the responsivity of these photodiode sensors which I will send to you. The non-uniformity of the photodiode itself is about +/- 0.5%. The non-uniformity of the photodiode together with the ND filter on these sensors is in the range of +/- 1%.
I will contact you directly to discuss this in more detail and to send you the requested data. user

 (posted 2016-07-20 17:39:30.253) We would prefer to use Thorlabs products over Newport, but your lack of BNC adapter or terminating the photodiode with a BNC connector makes that impossible. Please offer Thorlabs to BNC adapter for the photodiodes as a standard item, the main reason being we need sub nA to uA current measurements and the dinky little power meters that are offered by Thorlabs and Newport just can't offer that kind of precision and accuracy, so we use Keithley picoammeters with BNC inputs and translate to watts using the provided calibration. shallwig

 (posted 2014-08-26 08:06:43.0) This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. I am sorry but we have to take the sensor back for inspection and repair. It is not recommendable that you repair the sensor by yourself as we also have to recalibrate the sensor. The calibration data saved in the EPROM are only valid for the build in ND filter.

 (posted 2014-03-31 07:57:19.0) This is a response from Thomas at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. These sensors do not provide a completely uniform response over their active area. Thus, to overcome these uniformity issues, the incident beam should have a diameter that fills at least 10% of the sensors active area.

 (posted 2013-07-02 01:52:38.183) Do I need the display unit only to directly read out the power, or can I attach e.g. the S145C power meter simply to an oscilloscope or something similar and read out the voltage in this way? tschalk
 (posted 2013-07-03 05:34:00.0) This is a response from Thomas at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. When the diode is illuminated, a photocurrent will flow. This photocurrent is proportional to the irradiance. Normally, the photocurrent is amplified in the power meter and displayed on a screen. The resulting photo current can be determined through the typical response graph in the spec sheet of the Sensor: http://www.thorlabs.com/Thorcat/18300/S145C-SpecSheet.pdf. The resulting current is in the range from 0,1nA to 3mA and you have to convert the current into a voltage to measure it with an oscilloscope. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact me at Europe@thorlabs.com, I will be happy to assist you. clarafly

 (posted 2013-02-26 04:09:00.0) A response from Julien at Thorlabs: thank you for your inquiry. The sample rate of the S150C when connected to one of our readout consoles is limited by the readout unit. There are different bandwidth and rate to be considered but the main ones are: 1. amplifier bandwidth-100kHz, 2. Clock frequency of the processor - 3kHz, 3. refresh rate of the display - 20Hz. the rise time of the diode itself that is built in the S150C is in the ns range. The interplay between all those time scales can be quite complex so that in order to estimate the usability of such a sensor for measurement of pulsed or modulated light, one needs to know the exact parameters of the light source. I will contact you to discuss furtehr your application. tschalk

 (posted 2012-04-10 11:13:00.0) A response from Julien at Thorlabs: thank you for your inquiry. Due to the large active areas of the photodiodes that are used in those sensors and the relatively small distance between fiber adapter output plane and sensor's surface, the FC adapter will work both for FC/PC and FC/APC. There is no risk that the deviation of the output beam from an angled cleave will bring the beam outside of the active area of the sensor user

センサ筐体の背面に刻印されたアライメント用ターゲットを利用してステージの位置を決めれば、センサを反転させたときにビームをセンサの中心に入射させることができます。写真のセンサはS170Cです。
- 顕微鏡の試料面での光パワー測定用に設計
- 大きな受光面18 mm x 18 mmのシリコンフォトダイオード
- センサ筐体の寸法 76.0 mm x 25.2 mm x 5.0 mm
- 高NAの対物レンズに適した光学設計
- コネクタに以下の情報を保存
- センサーデータ
- NISTまたはPTBにトレーサブルな校正データ
- M4タップ穴を用いてポストに取り付け可能
このシリコンフォトダイオードが取付けられた顕微鏡用スライド型パワーセンサーヘッドは、顕微鏡システム内の試料面における光パワーを測定するように設計されています。S170Cは波長範囲350 nm~1100 nmに感度があり、10 nW~150 mWの光パワーを測定できます。S171Cは波長範囲400 nm~1100 nmに感度があり、1 nW~15 mWの光パワーを測定できます。センサNS170Cは、中心波長780 nm~1300 nm、平均パワー0.5 mW~350 mWのフェムト秒レーザの相対ピークパワー測定用に設計されています。センサーヘッドの外形寸法76.0 mm x 25.2 mmは標準の顕微鏡用スライドと同じで、標準的な正立および倒立顕微鏡の多くにお使いいただけます。
センサS170CとS171Cに使用されているフォトダイオードの受光面の大きさは18 mm x 18 mmです。このフォトダイオードは密封された筐体に収納されており、その前面にはNDフィルタが付いています。NDフィルタの表面の周囲には段差があり、それにより20 mm x 20 mm大きさの窪みができています。このくぼみには標準的な顕微鏡用カバースリップを入れることができます。液浸材(水、グリセロール、油)は、NDフィルタの上のこのくぼみ内に直接滴下することができます。あるいは、クリーニングを容易にするために、最初にカバースリップを挿入することもできます。フォトダイオードとNDフィルタの間の隙間には屈折率マッチングジェルが充填されています。これは、高開口数(NA)の対物レンズを油浸または水浸で使用したときに、大きな測定誤差の原因となる内部反射を防止するためです。
センサNS170Cは2光子レーザのピークパワーの相対値を測定するように設計されており、2次の非線形結晶であるβ-BBOを用いて近赤外(NIR)の超短パルス入射光を可視(VIS)の第2高調波に変換して検出します。β-BBO結晶の下にあるショートパスフィルタで残留近赤外光が除去され、可視の第2高調波のみがフィルタを透過して大きな面積のシリコン(Si)フォトダイオードセンサに到達します。センサの光入射面には厚さ170 µmのカバーガラスが付いており、これでセンサ筐体を密閉しています。そのため、このセンサはドライ、水浸および油浸用の各対物レンズと組み合わせてご使用いただくことができます。カバーガラス上部からβ-BBO結晶までの作動距離は0.22 mmです。
センサ筐体の背面には、ビームのアライメントや集光の作業を補助するためにグリッドがレーザ刻印されています。標準的な顕微鏡では、このグリッドを用いてビームをアライメントした後、センサーヘッドを反転させて対物レンズに向ければ光パワーの測定を行うことができます。倒立顕微鏡の場合は、透過照明光をオンにしてディテクタ筐体のグリッドとビームを合わせれば、センサの中心が対物レンズの正面にきます。また、NDフィルタの拡散面を集光面として使用することもできます。
センサを損傷させないために、センサを光路上のビームが集光されない位置に配置することをお勧めします。ビームのスポットサイズにおいて、センサS170C、S171C、およびS175Cの場合は平均パワー密度の最大値、NS170Cの場合はピークパワー密度の最大値を超えないことが重要です(「仕様」タブ参照)。
各センサにはNISTまたはPTBにトレーサブルな校正データが添付されます。それらのデータは、各センサの試験に使用されたフォトダイオードの校正証明書のデータと整合しています。センサ仕様とNISTまたはPTBにトレーサブルな校正データは、センサーコネクタ内の不揮発性メモリに保存されており、当社の最新のパワーメーターコンソールで読み出すことができます。センサNS170CのNISTまたはPTBの校正データは、何れもディテクタに可視光が入射する場合のデータであることにご注意ください。しかし、この可視光の強さは近赤外のフェムト秒パルスの照射条件に固有なものになります。精度と性能を確保するために定期的な再校正をお勧めします。校正頻度は用途にもよりますが、通常1年程度です。当社では再校正サービスを提供しております。詳細は当社までお問い合わせください。
仕様の詳細は「仕様」タブをご覧ください。当社では、サーマルセンサ付きの顕微鏡用スライド型センサーヘッドもご用意しています。詳細はこちらからご覧いただけます。

ファイバ素線用アダプタS140-BFA(別売り)を取り付けたS142C
Click to Enlarge
ファイバーアダプタS120-FC(付属)を取り付けたS142C
- ビーム形状や入射角の影響を受けない測定が可能
- 積分球方式により光損失を最小に抑えた拡散板として機能
- センサの入射開口径:Ø5 mm、Ø7 mm、Ø12 mmまたはØ22 mm
- 開口径≤Ø12 mmの積分球には取外し可能なファイバーアダプタS120-FC(FC/PCまたはFC/APCの取付けが可能)が付属
- 開口径≤Ø12 mmの積分球には、終端処理済みファイバ用およびファイバ素線用のアダプタ(下表参照)の取付けが可能
積分球フォトダイオードパワーセンサは、入射するビームの均一性、広がり角、形状、入射角などに依存せずにパワーを測定するのに適しており、ファイバ光源からの光や光軸から外れた自由空間光などのパワー測定用として優れています。電磁干渉を抑制するためにシールドが強化されており、またセンサの加熱による損傷や測定エラーを防止するために過熱警告センサが付いています。
当社の積分球は、可視~近赤外の波長域用に設計されています。350~2500 nm用のセンサーヘッドには、Zenith® PTFE製のØ25.4 mm(Ø1インチ)またはØ50.8 mm(Ø2インチ)の単一の球が使用されており、入射開口部周辺での反射光を最小限に抑えるために筐体は黒色になっています。波長範囲350~1100 nm用の光検出センサとしてはシリコン(Si)フォトダイオードを、波長範囲800~1700 nm、900~1650 nm、または1200~2500 nm用の光検出センサとしてはInGaAsフォトダイオードを使用しています。
2.9~5.5 µm用の積分球S180Cでは、金メッキされたØ20 mmの球を2つ接続して使用しています。1つめの球に入射ポートが付いており、MCT (HgCdTe)ディテクタ用のポートは2つ目の球に付いています。2つの球を用いる方式では、単一の球を用いる方式と比べると、ディテクタが入射光に直接晒されないように効果的に遮光できるだけでなく、内部の球の表面積を最小限に抑えることもできるため、検出器としての感度が向上します。この方式では、バッフルやその他の遮光機構を使用しなくても、フォトダイオードへの直接入射光を効果的に遮蔽できるため、入射角、広がり角、ビーム形状などによる測定への影響を低減できます。
Click to Enlarge
S142CLとS145CLでは、ディテクタに直接光が入射しないようにバッフルを用いて遮光しています。
開口径が Ø5 mm、Ø7 mmまたはØ12 mmの積分球には大きな受光面積の検出器が付いており、また付属のファイバーアダプタS120-FCを取り付けられるSM1外ネジ付きアダプタが付いています。これらのセンサの検出器の受光面積が大きいため、付属のファイバーアダプタS120-FCにはFC/PCまたはFC/APCコネクタ付きファイバを接続することができます。SM1外ネジ付きアダプタはサイズ1のスクリュードライバを使用して取り外せるため、コンポーネントをウィンドウの近くに設置することができます。
積分球S142CLとS145CLの入射開口径はØ22 mmと大きいですが、積分球内のバッフルでフォトダイオードに光が直接入射しないように遮光しています。大きな開口径とバッフルの組み合わせにより、LEDやVCSELのような面積と発散角の大きな光源からの光も測定可能です。ディテクタの入射面には、30 mmケージシステム部品を取り付けるための4つの#4-40ネジが付いています。また、ご要望により、センサーヘッドに第2あるいは第3のポートを付けることも可能です。詳細は当社までお問い合わせください。
各センサにはNISTまたはPTBにトレーサブルな校正データが付いています。それらのデータは、各センサの試験に使用されたフォトダイオードの校正証明書のデータと同じです。NISTまたはPTBにトレーサブルなデータはセンサーコネクタ内に保存されています。当社では、フォトダイオードパワーセンサの再校正サービスをご提供しています。詳細は当社までお問い合わせください。

Thorlabs offers recalibration services for our photodiode optical power sensors. To ensure accurate measurements, we recommend recalibrating the sensors annually. Recalibration of a single-channel power and/or energy meter console or interface is included with the recalibration of a sensor at no additional cost. If you wish to calibrate one or more sensors with a dual-channel console, each sensor and console calibration service will need to be purchased individually. For more details on these recalibration services, please click the Documents () icons below.
Refer to the table to the right for the appropriate calibration service Item # that corresponds to your power sensor.
Requesting a Calibration
Thorlabs provides two options for requesting a calibration:
- Complete the Returns Material Authorization (RMA) form. When completing the RMA form, please enter your name, contact information, the Part #, and the Serial # of each item being returned for calibration; in the Reason for Return field, select "I would like an item to be calibrated." All other fields are optional. Once the form has been submitted, a member of our RMA team will reach out to provide an RMA Number, return instructions, and to verify billing and payment information.
- Select the appropriate sensor calibration Item # below, enter the Part # and Serial # of the sensor that requires recalibration, and then Add to Cart. If you would like a console calibrated with your sensor, repeat this process for Item # CAL-PM1 or CAL-PM2 below, entering the console Item # and Serial #. A member of our RMA team will reach out to coordinate the return of the item(s) for calibration. Note that each console calibration Item # represents the cost of calibrating a console alone; if requesting a single-channel console calibration with a sensor calibration, the appropriate discount will be applied when your request is processed.

Note that each console calibration Item # represents the cost of calibrating a console alone; if requesting a single-channel console calibration with a sensor calibration, the appropriate discount will be applied when your request is processed. Should you have other items in your cart, note that the calibration request will be split off from your order for RMA processing.
Please Note: To ensure your item being returned for calibration is routed appropriately once it arrives at our facility, please do not ship it prior to being provided an RMA Number and return instructions by a member of our team.
