Measuring smallest optical signals from DC to 2 kHz
In addition to precise and fast cw-measurements the relatively large bandwidth from DC to 2 kHz also allows time-resolved and modulated measurements. Particularly the combination with lock-in amplifiers results in ultra-sensitive measurement systems being almost immune to disturbances from external sources. In this way the PWPR-2K can easily detect optical powers from about 100 fW up to 10 nW.
Compatible with optical bench (free space) and fiber optics
The PWPR-2K photoreceivers are factory equipped with an optical free-space input (FST) which is designed as a 1.035″-40 threaded flange with a screw-on coupler ring. It opens up a broad compatibility with optical accessories from various manufacturers, such as lenses, tubes, cage systems, optical adapters etc. The threaded FST input can be easily converted to an optical fiber input by screwing the optionally available fiber adapters (PRA-FC and PRA-FSMA) on it.
The relatively large-area detector facilitates optical focusing in free-space applications and ensures a high and stable degree of coupling when using the optionally available fiber optic adapter.
All PWPR-2K photoreceivers feature both UNC 8-32 and M4 tapped holes for mounting on metric and imperial threaded standard posts. The optionally available adapter plate PRA-PAP opens up further mounting options.
