A photodiode is a type of photodetector that is used to convert light into current so that optical power can be measured. With our comprehensive testing and direct NIST traceability our low power photodiode sensors provide measurement results you can trust when measuring optical power from free-space and fiber-optic sources.
The RoHs compliant 918D Series Photodiode Sensors are calibrated photodiode sensors with advanced features to enhance performance.
- Smallest calibration uncertainty specifications in market
- Internal temperature sensor for thermal drift compensation
- Integrated attenuator, selectable from 10X to 1000X
- Attenuator on/off sensor
- Free-space and fiber optic measurements
- RoHS compliant
