Integrating Sphere Detector for Fast Laser Power Measurement of up to 1 kW
Description
Following its launch of integrating sphere laser power detector series, Gentec-EO now added another fast laser power detectors, the IS50A-1KW-RSI.
One of the highlights of this new detector is its typical rise time of 200msec, which enables high-accuracy measurement extremely fast compared to any other high-power detectors available on the market.
With its capability to measure up to 1000 W of continuous power and its 50 mm aperture, the IS50A-1KW-RSI accommodates large and powerful laser beam. It also features an incredibly low noise level of just 0.01 mW.
This power detector is ideal for collimated beams, but will also work perfectly up to 20º divergence (full angle).
Simply plug it into a computer with an INTEGRA USB or RS-232 connector, open our free proprietary software PC-Gentec-EO and you are all set to take your first measurement.
KEY ADVANTAGES:
Performance: First, it lets you follow the ramp-up of a high-power laser because such detectors measure laser power extremely fast as you can see on the chart. Integrating sphere power detectors offer many advantages performance-wise: fast response, high sensitivity, excellent spatial uniformity.
Cost-efficient: The same detector can be used for measuring several laser systems because the dynamic spectral range is very wide. Indeed, these detectors have a NIST-traceable calibration for their entire calibrated spectral range, and this calibration is valid from the noise floor to the maximum power: from tens of mW to 1000 W!
This results in significant savings for customers who have many lasers to measure. Also, you do not need to purchase a display device to read your measurement since our INTEGRA technology is integrated into it. Just plug the detector into your computer.
Safety: If you are particularly concerned about safety in your work environment, using an integrating sphere detector instead of a thermal detector is even safer because back-reflections are much weaker.
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
An integrating sphere detector is composed of two elements. First, light enters a hollow sphere through a small aperture and it diffuses inside the sphere with multiple reflections on the sphere's inner coating.
Second, a small uniformly-lit aperture at another position in the sphere samples a portion of this diffused light and sends it onto a sensor. Basically, integrating spheres act as attenuators to allow for the use of smaller and faster detectors.

Features
FASTEST RESPONSE
With its silicon sensor, the integrating sphere is as fast as a photodiode.
HIGH AVERAGE POWER
Measure up to 1000 W of continuous power.
RESISTANT COATING
Our proprietary coating is designed to be strong. Its damage thresholds are orders of magnitude higher than any other "white" coatings on the market.
PRECISE CALIBRATION
The IS detectors have a NIST-traceable calibration for their entire calibrated spectral range. Temperature compensation completes the calibration to give you the most accurate and stable measurements.
CHOICE OF OUTPUT
The IS detectors are available with two output options:
INTEGRA with USB output (-INT)
INTEGRA with RS-232 output (-IDR)
