This PowerMax-USB PS10 sensor is a thermally stabilized, amplified thermopile power sensor intended for measuring low power lasers down into the 100 µW range, making it ideal for measuring laser diodes, HeNe and ion lasers, and other low power laser sources.

The sensor is terminated in a USB cable that interfaces directly to a PC. A DB25 model (PN 1098350) is available.

This PS10 model includes a light tube mounted to the front of the housing to minimize the effects of stray light and background radiation. The light tube can be removed and replaced by a FC fiber adapter (PN 0012-3863) and a SMA fiber adapter (PN 0012-3860).

For enhanced thermal stability, the PowerMax-USB PS10Q (PN 1287077) includes a quartz window to more effectively eliminate thermal background radiation. Note that the window limits the spectral range to 0.3 to 2.1 µm.
