Ophir-Spiricon Launches Pyroelectric Detectors
Ophir-Spiricon has introduced the PE25BF-DIF and the PE100BF-DIF, the latest members of the company's line of pyroelectric detectors for repetitive pulses. These energy sensors provide a high damage threshold, high pulse energies and a wide spectral range, according to the company. The PE25BF-DIF has a fast broadband absorber that accurately measures from 193nm to 2.2um at pulse rates to 150Hz; pulse energies are measured up to 10J. The PE100BF-DIF measures from 193nm to 2.0um at pulse rates to 40Hz; pulse energies are measured to 40J. While most high-damage-threshold detectors require multiple diffusers to cover the spectral range, the PE25BF-DIF and the PE100BF-DIF use a single, removable diffuser to cover ultraviolet (UV), visible and mid-infrared wavelengths. The sensors work with most types of pulsed lasers, from short to long pulse and from low to high energy. The PE25BF-DIF pyroelectric detector is designed for medium-size pulsed lasers with high energy densities - includin...
