Duo-lateral Position Sensing Detectors

Product information "Duo-lateral Position Sensing Detectors"

OSI Optoelectronics’ super linear duo-lateral position sensing detectors (PSDs) feature state of the art duo-lateral technology to provide a continuous analog output proportional to the displacement of the centroid of a light spot from the center, on the active area.

As continuous position sensors, these detectors are unparalleled, offering position accuracies of 99% over 64% of the sensing area. These accuracies are achieved by duo-lateral technology, manufacturing the detectors with two separate resistive layers, one located on the top and the other at the bottom of the chip. One- or two-dimensional position measurements can be obtained using these sensors.

A reverse bias should be applied to these detectors to achieve optimum current linearity at high light levels. The maximum recommended power density incident on the duo-lateral PSDs is 1 mW/cm2. For optimum performance, the incident beam should be perpendicular to the active area, with a spot diameter of less than 1 mm.

QSMJ High Power SM Patch Cables
Single Mode Patchcords; 200 to 2000 nm; Fiber Type SM High Power; Optional Cooling Fins OZ Optics’ QSMJ series of single mode fiber optic patchcords is specifically designed for high-power applications. These patchcords feature special high-power SM fibers, carefully prepared fiber endfaces and specially designed fiber optic connectors to ensure maximum power handling for your application. In standard connectors the fibers are glued into place, and the fiber is polished flush with the connector ferrule tip. When used with high power lasers, heat generated at the tip of the fiber causes the surrounding epoxy to break down and give off gases. These gases, in turn, burn onto the tip of the fiber, causing catastrophic damage to the fiber and perhaps the entire system. In contrast, OZ Optics’ high-power connectors feature an air-gap design, where the fiber extends into free space by 1.1 to 1.5 mm, providing an epoxy-free region where thermal energy is safely dissipated without burning the surrounding material. OZ Optics offers an adjustable focus feature in both SMA and FC connector designs to allow optimum coupling efficiency, which is critical in high power applications. A unique feature of the adjustable focus connector design is that one can adjust the distance the ferrule and fiber protrudes from the connector housing. The connector also has a built-in residual spring mechanism that allows one to safely connect two fibers together. Our engineers have extensive working knowledge with both continuous output (CW) and pulsed laser applications and can help you select the best system for your application. Please contact AMS Technologies for further assistance. Key Features: Operating Wavelengths 200 to 2000 nm SM Fibers Unique Connector Design for Precise Fiber to Fiber Coupling Minimizes Thermal Damage Able to Withstand Temperatures up to +500 °C Compatible with SMA905 and FC Connectors Different Fiber Endface Finishes Available for Higher Power Applications Stainless Steel Armored Cabling for Maximum Safety High Power Anti-reflection Coatings Available Applications: Laser Marking, Cutting and Welding; Materials Processing; High Power Spectroscopy; Non-linear Optics; Laser Surgery; Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)
