Description

The XLPF12-3S-H2-D0 Thermopile Laser Power Detector by Gentec-EO is a precision instrument designed for accurate laser power measurement up to 3 watts. This advanced device is engineered to deliver the noise level of a photo detector while maintaining the large bandwidth and high power capacity of a thermal device, making it an ideal choice for professionals who require reliable and precise laser power measurements.

One of the standout features of this thermal detector is its minimal thermal drift, which is only 6 µW/°C when used with the IR filter. This ensures consistent performance and accuracy even in varying temperature conditions. The detector also boasts high sensitivity, with a rating of 200 mV/W without the IR filter, allowing it to detect even the slightest changes in laser power.

This model is particularly suited for low power lasers with ultrashort pulses, thanks to its VP (volume absorber) version. The inclusion of an IR filter in the XLPF12 model effectively removes unwanted IR interference, enhancing the accuracy of measurements. Additionally, the isolation tube feature eliminates power fluctuations caused by air turbulence, ensuring stable and reliable readings.

Physically, the device is compact and lightweight, with dimensions of 73H x 73W x 28D mm (80D mm with tube) and a weight of just 0.32 kg. It features a 12 mm aperture diameter and an H2 absorber, making it versatile and easy to integrate into various setups. The device is compatible with a range of displays and PC interfaces, including MAESTRO, TUNER, UNO, and several S-LINK and P-LINK options, providing flexibility in data management and analysis.

Features

The UP detectors are supplied with a 180 cm length flexible cable with output connection options of a DB-15 "intelligent" male connector, an Integra USB connector, a BNC connector, a Molex connector and a BNC/Molex connector. 
 
A few exception exist: the UP50N series is available with BNC Molex connector on special order only and the XLP12, UP60N(M), and UP60G series are only supplied with a DB-15 “intelligent” male connector and the Integra USB connector. 
  
Note: To eliminate possible damage, do not carry the detector using the connector cable. 
 
The UP detectors may also be supplied with a stand. Be aware that when using a detector with a heat sink, the fins should always be placed vertically. 
  
For cases where Gentec-EO’s monitors don’t automatically read the wavelength correction factor, you can use your detector’s “Personal wavelength correction TM Certificate” to adjust the power you read to a power corrected for a particular wavelength.

Applications

  • Laser power measurements
  • Metrology and inspection
