Most Ophir Photodiode Sensors have a built-in filter that reduces the light level on the sensor and allows measurement up to 30mW without saturation. They also have an additional removable filter allowing measurement to 300mW or 3 Watts 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 and PD300-3W have the exclusive patented dual detectors connected back to back which eliminate any signal illuminating both detectors equally (background light).

Ophir photodiode detectors are compatible only with Ophir power meters. See 'Related Products' tab for Ophir power meters currently available at www.newport.com.

Calibration and Accuracy

The sensitivity of various photodiode sensors varies from one sensor to another as well as with wavelength. Therefore, each PD300 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 the NIST standard using a computer-controlled monochromator. 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 see the Ophir website under: www.ophiropt.com/calibration-procedure/tutorial
