This PowerMax-USB PS10Q 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. It 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.

The sensor is terminated in a USB cable that interfaces directly to a PC. A DB25 model (PN 1098400) is available.

For a wider spectral range, the similar PowerMax-USB PS10 model (PN 1174260) does not include the quartz filter, enabling a spectral range of 0.19 to 11 µm. This model can also be used with fiber adapters.
