The Labsphere Laser Power Measurement Systems (LPMS) Series assures an accurate, reproducible method of determining the total power from a collimated or divergent laser or laser diode. Specifically designed for laser applications, LPMS spheres are ideal for measuring the total power of a beam of optical radiance. Because of the unique geometry of the sphere, beam power measurements are independent of beam polarization, and are insensitive to beam alignment. The attenuation that accompanies the sphere throughput also alleviates detector saturation. The systems can be used with an open port and can be fitted with an array of optional fiber adapters for laser diode modules or port reducers.
Labsphere's Laser Power Measurement Systems (LPMS) measure the total power of collimated and divergent lasers from 300 to 1800 nm and 15µW up to 200W, with application specific calibrations and ND filters. The sphere's unique geometry couples flexibility and accuracy with two detector ports and coating options for applications from the 250 nm to 20 microns. The system's 2, 4 or 6-inch diameter integrating sphere is coated with Labsphere's Spectraflect® or Infragold® diffuse reflectance coatings or is fabricated from our highly reflective diffuse material, Spectralon®. All materials are extremely durable and optically stable over time.
An input port that permits a beam of radiation is machined into the sphere. A detector located 45° from the entrance port views the sphere wall next to the entrance port. The field of view of the detector is designed to limit the viewing area so that highly divergent sources may be input without affecting measurement accuracy. The systems provide options for laser power measurement over the 300 to 1800 nm wavelength region for optical powers ranging from 0.1uw to hundreds of watts. The system's calibrations are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Each system consists of a laser power measurement sphere, post, post holder and base assembly, a detector assembly, SC 6000 programmable radiometer/photometer and multi-wavelength calibration. A second detector port gives the user the flexibility to add an additional detector assembly for broader spectral sensitivity or add a spectrometer for spectral characterization. Download Datasheet
