Newport's Laser and Detector Selection Guide
This selection guide is designed to aid in choosing the most appropriate Newport detectors to measure the output power of your Spectra-Physics Lasers. The choices listed include the best optical power detector option(s) – Photodiode and Thermopile – for each specific laser based on performance and price at the time of this printing.

This selection guide does not cover energy (Pyroelectric) detectors; for guidance on selecting an energy detector for your Spectra-Physics Lasers, please contact a Technical Sales Engineer at 800-222-6440 or tech@newport.com.

* Detector heads are selected based on cost effectiveness, power resolution and the ease of use. This chart does not necessarily show all the compatible detectors and is only intended to provide the best recommendation.

Recommended power meters are 1935-C, 2935-C, 1918-C, 842-PE or 1916-C.

For multiphoton imaging applications with Mai Tai and Tsunami lasers, 918D series detectors can be used for less than 2 W/cm2 of output power density.

For the recommended detectors for Mai Tai DeepSee, see the specific Mai Tai models in the chart above.



Notes

1 can also measure the output power of laser pump source

2 can also measure the output power of laser pump source for up to 2 minutes of operation
