IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800

7Z02491
Description: 

The IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 provides multiple measurement capabilities in a single integrating sphere device: a) a precision photodiode for calibrated average power measurement, b) a fast photodiode for pulse shape characterization on an oscilloscope and c) an SMA fiber optic adapter for easy connection to a spectrometer. The IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 has a small internal diameter of 1.5 inch (38mm), to minimize the pulse stretching effect inherent to integrating spheres, giving it a time constant of 0.7ns. Together with its fast silicon photodiode, the IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 provides a pulse rise time of 0.8ns and a fall time of 2.8ns.

FAQ

I need to measure the power of a diverging beam whose divergence is very asymmetrical; the Fast axis divergence is ± 80 degrees, while the Slow axis divergence is ± 20 degrees. Will the IS6-D integrating sphere work? It’s specified Maximum Beam Divergence is ± 60 degrees.

The IS6-D type integrating spheres (such as IS6-D-VIS, IS6-D-UV, IS6-D-IR) will be good for this as long as you orient the 80 degree divergence in the vertical direction. The IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 will also work, with the same constraint.

The damage thresholds for your Integrating Sphere sensors are only given for the sphere surface – what about for the detector?

The damage threshold is given in the datasheet for the sphere inner surface rather than for the detector itself, because the sphere surface will reach its damage threshold long before the detector will. A beam entering the sphere will first hit the inner surface on the opposite side of the sphere, and if at that point the power density is too high it will damage the inner surface of the sphere. From that first "meeting" of the beam with the white diffuse reflective inner sphere surface, it will be diffusely reflected multiple times. Since there is no direct line of sight between the entrance port and the detector, any light reaching the detector has already been uniformly distributed around the inner surface of the sphere, but light in that "first impact" on the sphere wall has not yet been uniformly distributed. Therefore, the "damage threshold" for the device is the maximum power density of the beam as it first hits the inner wall.

Product Overview: Multifunction Integrating Sphere IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 Product Overview: Multifunction Integrating Sphere IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800

In many applications such as VCSEL-based LIDAR and facial recognition systems, there is a need to measure multiple parameters of the laser beam at the same time, such as power, spectrum, and temporal pulse shape. Also, capturing and correctly measuring these widely-diverging and slowly-pulsing beams can be very challenging.
The Ophir IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 Multifunction Integrating Sphere sensor helps you meet these challenges. Get an overview in this video.
