Warranty

First Year Warranty

The Gentec-EO power and energy detectors carry a one-year warranty (from date of shipment) against material and /or workmanship defects when used under normal operating conditions. The warranty does not cover recalibration or damages related to misuse.

Gentec-EO will repair or replace at its option any wattmeter or joulemeter which proves to be defective during the warranty period, except in the case of product misuse.

Any unauthorized alteration or repair of the product is also not covered by the warranty. The manufacturer is not liable for consequential damages of any kind. In the case of a malfunction, contact the local Gentec-EO distributor or nearest Gentec-EO office to obtain

a return authorization number. Return the material to the appropriate address below. Contacting Gentec Electro-Optics Inc. To help us answer your calls more efficiently please have the model number of the detector you are

using ready before calling Customer Support.

Lifetime Warranty

Gentec-EO will warranty any power and energy detector head for its lifetime as long as it has been returned for recalibration annually from the date of shipment. This warranty includes parts and labor for all routine repairs including normal wear under normal operating conditions.

Gentec-EO will inspect and repair the detector during the annual recalibration. Exceptions to repair at other times will be at Gentec-EO’s option.

Not included is the cost of annual recalibration or consequential damages from using the detector.

Version 2.2 iii

The only condition is that the detector head must not have been subject to unauthorized service or damaged by misuse. Misuse would include, but is not limited to, laser exposure outside Gentec-EO’s published specifications, physical damage due to improper handling, and exposure to hostile environments. Hostile environments would include, but are not limited to excessive temperature, vibration, humidity, or surface contaminants; exposure to flame, solvents or water; and connection to improper electrical voltage.

1 PH SERIES PHOTO DETECTORS

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Gentec-EO Photo Detector family includes nine photo detectors sensors.. The PH100-Si, PH100Si-HA detectors use a silicon photodiode.

The PH100-SiUV, PH10B-Si, PE10B-Si, PE3B-Si detectors also use a silicon photodiode but have enhanced sensitivity at shorter wavelengths. The PH20-Ge, PH5B-Ge, PE5B-Ge detectors use a germanium photodiode. The PE3B-In detectors use a InGaAs photodiode.

All detector heads are 27.4mm thick by 38.1 mm in diameter.

The PH and PE series are supplied with a 180 cm long flexible cable terminated with a DB-15 "intelligent" male connector, for use with Gentec-EO Monitors.

NOTE: To eliminate possible damage, do not carry the detector using the connector cable.

The PH and PE photo detectors may also be supplied with a stand.

1.2 PHOTO DETECTOR CONNECTORS

1.2.1 DB-15 “intelligent” connector and INTEGRA connector.

The DB-15 male "intelligent" and INTEGRA connectors contains an EEPROM (Erasable Electrical Programmable Read-Only Memory) that stores information such as the model of the detector, the calibration sensitivity of the available spectral range with or without attenuator and the applicable scales for that specific PH and PE Series head. Wavelengths are not available where the sensor physical properties don’t allow it.

The Gentec-eo monitors or PC-GENTEC-EO use the data in those connectors to adjust their characteristics automatically to the power sensor being connected. No calibration procedure is required when installing the power heads, allowing for faster set-up.

NOTE : Consult Gentec-Eo for supply voltage requierements

The photodiode is calibrated at one wavelength and spectrally correted according to a typical

curve.

2.1 WITH GENTEC-EO MONITORS

To operate the PH and PE Series photo detector, connect the detector head to the input socket on Gentec-eo monitors with the cable supplied by Gentec-EO before turning the monitor on. (See monitor’s instruction manual.)

Adjust the reading to zero before measurements for best accuracy. See procedure in section 2.2 below.

If you are using the fiber optic adapter, put the black protective cover on the detector head before making the offset nulling.

If you want to subtract the room light do the offset nulling with the cover off.

2.2 QUICK POWER MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

This section will show you the fastest way of making a laser power measurement with Gentec-eo monitors and power detector.

The monitor automatically recognizes all Gentec-EO photo detectors heads of version 5 or higher. Then the monitor automatically downloades all custom technical data for the detector from the EEPROM in the DB-15 connector. This data includes sensitivity, model, serial number, version, wavelength correction factors, and time response.

Quick power measurement procedure:

3 DAMAGE TO THE OPTICAL ABSORBER MATERIAL

Damage to the optical absorber material is usually caused by exceeding the manufacturer's specified maximum incident in the average power density.

Refer to the specifications pages for the PH Series power head specifications.

Cleaning: Use Alcohol and a clean cotton cloth.

4 ERROR SOURCES

The photodiode and monitor are NIST traceable. Several errors source may affect your measurements.

4.1 OFFSET

Zero the offset before any measurement as described in Section 2.2 above. Otherwise all measurements will include a component not related to the laser power. This will add a systematic error to absolute power measurements. This error may disappear from relative power measurements. When you subtract two measurements made under identical conditions, the offset in the second measurement cancels the offset in the first if they are identical. We recommend zeroing the offset for all measurements to eliminate any drift that occurs between measurements.

4.2 OFFSET DRIFT DUE TO TEMPERATURE

The Photodiode Shunt Resistor is sensitive to temperature, this affects the offset value. When making very low power level measurements, allow your system to warm up for 30 minutes or until the offset power is stable for several minutes. The sensitivity of the phodiode also has temperature dependence. See Fig 1-2 and Fig 1-3 for the typical temperature sensitivity dependence over the spectral range for Ge, Si and SiUV.

4.3 SATURATION

The maximum power varies with wavelength, power density and from one diode to another. When making measurements near the saturation power, you must verify the saturation effect with a calibrated Filter.

4.3.1 Procedure with a known transmission value filter

Make the measurement with and without the filter. Your power ratio should be equal to the transmission value of the filter.

4.3.2 Attenuator calibration procedure

Make sure your stable power source is far below the saturation point. Make the measurement with and without the filter. The transmission value is the ratio of the measurement with filter / without filter.

4.4 MEASUREMENT OF THE AVERAGE POWER OF A PULSE LASER BEAM

Conditions to be met:

The repetition rate must be at least 5 times the analog Bandwidth (see table IV).

The peak power must not saturate the detector. To know if the detector is saturated, use procedure 4.3.1. Be careful when making the attenuator

calibration in pulse mode. The peak power must be in the linear region of the photodiode. Peak power = Energy per pulse / pulse width. Energy per pulse = Average power / repetition rate.

4.5 WAVELENGTH

The photodiode response varies with wavelength. You may select your wavelength with the Settings/Wavelength menu of the monitor or enter you wavelength in the Settings/Custom menu of the monitor.

If you decide to use the photo detector without a Gentec-EO monitor, you will have to use the sensitivity given by the photo detector calibration certificate to calculate the power on you laser beam. If your wavelength is not given by the calibration certificate, you will have to make a linear interpolation between two of the available calibration values. Fig. 1-4, Fig. 1-5 and Fig. 1-6 shows the typical spectral response.

Appendix A: WEEE directive

1.1 Recycling and separation procedure for WEEE directive 2002/96/EC:

This section is used by the recycling center when the detector reaches its end of life. Breaking the calibration seal or opening the monitor will void the detector warranty.

The complete Detector contains 1 Detector with wires or DB-15. 1 instruction manual 1 calibration certificate

1 Electronic PCB (Integra option)

1 Plastic enclosure (Integra option)

1.2 Separation:

Paper : Manual and certificate Wires: Cable Detector. Printed circuit board: inside the Detector or DB-15, no need to separate (less then 10 cm2). Aluminum: Detector casing. Inside the integra enclosure, no need to separate (less then 10 cm2). Aluminum: Detector casing. Plastic: Integra enclosure.
