Wilmington, MA, May 2005….Ophir Optronics, Inc., leaders in advanced technology for the measurement of laser power, energy, beam profile and wavelength introduces the new PD10-pJ and PD10 Photodiode Energy Heads.

The Model PD10-pJ and the PD10 Energy Detectors have been improved to handle higher rep rates. Now you can measure up to 10,000 Hz on low energy, high rep rate lasers. The PD10-pJ has pulse energy measurements of 10pJ-200nJ, up to 10,000Hz.
Additional features of the PD10-pJ include a spectral response from 0.19-1.1µm, built-in calibration in 1nm increments, and energy scales of 200nJ to 200pJ. The damage threshold of the PD10-pJ is 0.1J/cm2 and the calibration accuracy is ±5%. .

The PD10 Energy Detector has pulse energy measurements of 1nJ-20µJ, up to 10,000Hz. Additional features of the PD10 include a spectral response from 0.19-1.1µm; Built in calibration in 1nm increments, and energy scales of 20µJ to 20nJ.
