PD300-IR In Stock

The PD300-IR by Newport is a Germanium Photodiode Sensor designed with a a built-in filter that allows it to accurately measure optical power up to 300 mW without succumbing to saturation. Its advanced circuitry effectively mitigates both electrostatic and electromagnetic interference, ensuring optimal data integrity. The PD300-IR boasts an impressively wide dynamic range, covering the UV to near IR spectrums, making it highly versatile for a broad range of light sources. Specifically, its spectral range spans from 700 to 1800 nm, and its optical power measuring range ranges from 5 nW to 30 mW without the filter. When the filter is employed, the spectral range remains the same, but the power range is adjusted to 2 µW to 300 mW.

The PD300-IR features a 5 mm aperture and comes with a convenient swivel mount which facilitates measurements in hard-to-reach areas. This sensor includes a removable filter along with the capability to automatically and dynamically cancel up to 98% of background light, ensuring exceptional accuracy in challenging environments. Users can also opt for wavelength correction, tailoring the sensor to specific measurement requirements. The sensor provides an impressive resolution of 0.1 pW, allowing for highly precise measurements. The PD300-IR offers a wide array of screen graphics, including offset, average, laser tuning, power vs. time, zoom, analog bar graph, and digital power, empowering users with comprehensive visual data representation. This sensor designed to work seamlessly with various fiber optic adapters, such as SC, FC, ST, and SMA, offering enhanced versatility in fiber measurements. Additionally, this sensor is well suited for applications involving low power continuous wave (CW) lasers outside of fiber measurements.
