Features
Thorlabs' C-Series Photodiode Power Meter Sensors cover a wide power and wavelength range. These sensors are offered in standard, slim, microscope slide, integrating sphere, and compact fiber versions to meet your specific application requirements. They are the best sensor choice when a fast response time or high resolution is required and there is not a need for a flat spectral response.
These photodiode power meter sensors feature enhanced shielding to avoid electromagnetic interference as well as an over-temperature alert sensor to warn against damage and measurement errors due to overheating of the sensor (except the S130VC, S130C, and S132C Slim Sensors and the S170C and S171C Microscope Slide Sensors). For all sensors (except the S116C Compact Sensor, the S130VC, S130C, and S132C Slim Sensors, and the S170C and S171C Microscope Slide Sensors), a set of fiber adapters is available to connect them to standard optical fiber patch cables (see below). Other fiber adapter types are available upon request.
The sensors below (except the S150C series) have universal 8-32 and M4 taps for mounting to Ø1/2" Posts. Posts and post holders are not included and sold separately.
Compatibility
The Photodiode Sensors presented here are compatible with C-Series power meter consoles including the PM400, PM100D, PM100A, and PM5020, as well as many of our C-series power and energy meter interfaces. The S150C Series Fiber Sensors are integrated into the connector itself and directly plugged into the console.
Calibration
Each sensor head is individually calibrated and is shipped with NIST- or PTB-traceable calibration data. The included data will match the calibration certification of the photodiode used to test the individual sensor. The calibration and identification data is stored in the connector of the sensor and is downloaded automatically to the connected power meter console.
Sensor Upgrade Service
All C-Series Sensors are incompatible with old power meter consoles with non-C-Series connectors. We offer a sensor upgrade service if you want to use your existing sensors with a new power meter console with C-Series connector. Note: upgraded sensors will be incompatible with old power meter consoles with non-C-Series connectors. Please contact our Tech Support team for details.
Recalibration Service
Thorlabs offers specific recalibration services for all our photodiode power sensors. To ensure accurate measurements, we recommend recalibrating the sensors annually. To order this service, scroll toward the bottom of the page and select the appropriate Item # that corresponds to your power sensor. For questions and pricing information pertaining to this service, please contact Tech Support.
