C-Series Photodiode Power Sensors

Thorlabs offers specific recalibration services for all our photodiode power sensors. To ensure accurate measurements, we recommend recalibrating the sensors annually. Please contact our tech support team for recalibration information and pricing. We also offer expedited sensors calibration.

All the above S100C Series Photodiode Sensors are compatible with consoles with C-Series connectors only! (See ). Each sensor head is individually calibrated and is shipped with a NIST and PTB Traceable Calibration Certificate.The calibration and identification data is stored in the connector of the sensor and is downloaded automatically to the connected power meter console.

The sensors allow easy mounting by #8-32 or M4 mounting holes, for use with our . Posts and post holders are not included and sold separately.

The C-Series sensors feature enhanced shielding to avoid electromagnetic interference and an over temperature alert sensor to warn against damage and measurement errors due to overheating of the sensor (except the S130C Series). For all sensors, except the S130C Series, a set of fiber adapters is available to connect them to standard optical fiber patch cords. Other fiber adapter types are available on request.

Thorlabs' new C-Series Photodiode Power Meter Sensors cover a wide power and wavelength range. These sensors are offered in standard, slim, integrating sphere, and compact fiber versions to meet your specific application requirements. Generally they are the best choice when a fast response time or a high resolution is required without the need for a flat spectral response. They are connected to the power meter console via the new red C-Series connector, which offers quick sensor exchange. The C-Series sensors are compatible with C-Series power meter consoles, like the PM100D. The S150C Series Fiber Sensors are integrated into the connector itself and directly plugged into the console.
