Optical Power And Energy Meters
-
Thorlabs' expanding line of optical power and energy meters includes power meter consoles, a large selection of sensor heads, a wireless power meter with a built-in photodiode sensor, and a fiber optic power meter designed for use in the field. The consoles (PM100, PM400, and PM300 Series) when paired with our extensive line of power and energy sensors provide calibrated (NIST traceable) measurements across a broad range of powers, energies, and wavelengths. The console(s) and sensor(s) can be purchased individually or as bundles based on our most popular console and sensor pairings. The sensor calibration data is stored in the sensor head and is automatically read by the console, which allows the user to use multiple sensors with the same console. Compatible sensors are easily identified by the red c-series connector. All of our old A/B-Type sensors are available with the new connector; plus, we have continued to expand our power and energy sensor product lines.

Photometers & Colorimeters
-
Instrument Systems Optische Messtechnik GmbH
A photometer is used to measure the photometric quantities of illuminance (lx), luminous intensity (cd), luminous flux (lm), and luminance (cd/m²). The integral method and the fast response time of silicon photodiodes means that photometers can achieve an outstanding measuring speed. They are therefore ideal for performing fast goniophotometric measurements. We take great care in the development and production of photometer heads and use innovative amplifier technologies.

Colorimeter
CM 10
-
Instrument Systems Optische Messtechnik GmbH
The CM 10 from the Instrument Systems Optronik line is a precise tristimulus colorimeter for a wide range of light sources. It features an impressively high signal dynamic range and a wide measuring range of up to 600 klx. The colorimeter head of the CM 10 contains four silicon photodiodes with full-glass filtering for the Xred, Xblue, Y and Z tristimulus functions. This permits particularly precise correction.

UV-Vis & UV-Vis-NIR Systems
-
Our range of powerful and productive UV-Vis and UV-Vis-NIR molecular spectroscopy systems offers options for any optical application. The Cary 60 Spectrophotometer has a unique Xenon flash lamp to enable remote sampling, while the Cary 4000 allows you to measure highly turbid solutions without an integrating sphere. The Cary 8454 photodiode array captures the complete UV-Vis spectrum (190-1100nm) in less than one second.

PIN Diodes
-
PIN photodiodes convert light to current – without a bias voltage having to be applied. Silicon is commonly used as an inexpensive detector material in the Vis range. For higher demands, InGaAs is used; it covers the widest spectral range from the Vis to the NIR. We offer silicon carbide as a “solar-blind” detector specifically for the UV range.

Detectors
-
Thorlabs' photodetectors are capable of detecting light throughout the UV, VIS, NIR, IR, and THz spectral regions. Our photodetectors feature sensors that enable properties such as intensity, power, intensity distribution, wavefront shape, energy, and wavelength to be measured. We offer unmounted photodiodes as well as amplified, biased, and avalanche photodetectors. Thermal power detectors are available unmounted, mounted on a PCB, or mounted on an aluminum plate. Also available are position-detecting sensors, integrating spheres, and an acoustic detection module.
