Introducing The New UV Sensors: PD300R-UV-193 and PD10-C-193

In the ever-evolving field of laser and optical equipment, precision and reliability are paramount. At Ophir Photonics, we are proud to introduce two new sensors specifically designed for UV applications: the PD300R-UV-193 (7Z07151) for laser power measurement and the PD10-C-193 (7Z07150) for measuring the energy of individual laser pulses.

Challenges in UV Testing

Testing in the UV range, especially with prolonged exposure, presents unique challenges. Intense UV radiation can degrade sensor materials, leading to inaccurate power or energy readings. Long burn-in tests, which are essential for assessing laser stability, can exacerbate this issue, potentially damage the sensor and compromise data integrity.

Our Robust Solution

To address these challenges, we’ve developed sensors that are not only highly accurate but also exceptionally durable. Both the PD300R-UV-193 and PD10-C-193 offer several key features:

• Spectral Range: A broad range from 193 nm to 400 nm, making them versatile for various UV applications.
• UV-Hardened Photodiodes: Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of UV testing, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Photodiode Dimensions: Both sensors feature 10×10 mm photodiodes, providing a stable and consistent measurement area.

Specific Applications

• PD300R-UV-193 (7Z07151): Optimized for precise laser power measurement, this sensor delivers reliable performance even under extended UV exposure.
• PD10-C-193 (7Z07150): Tailored for measuring the energy of each laser pulse, this sensor ensures consistent and accurate readings – ideal for demanding UV applications.

Ideal for Manufacturers

These sensors are perfect for laser and optical equipment manufacturers who require dependable and precise measurements in the UV range. Whether you’re conducting long-term stability tests or need accurate pulse energy readings, the PD300R-UV-193 and PD10-C-193 deliver the reliability and durability you need.

Relevant use cases include deep engraving or drilling, etching, cleaning, sterilization, phototherapy, and more.
