The ThorLabs S154C is a highly specialized fiber photodiode power head sensor that is ideal for use in fiber-based applications in the VIS and NIR wavelength range. With its advanced design, the S154C provides fast response times and high resolution, making it the optimal choice for situations where these features are essential.
One of the key advantages of the S154C is that it eliminates the need for a disturbing cable between the sensor head and the power meter console. This ensures that data is transmitted quickly and accurately without any interference, resulting in highly reliable measurements. The S154C is also spectrally calibrated over the entire operating range, enabling it to detect light from nanowatts up to 3 mW. It is compatible with a range of fiber adapters, including the FC fiber adapter, and can be easily interchanged without requiring any tools. The housing of the S154C is equipped with a sub-d connector with a self-fixing mechanism, further adding to its ease of use.
In addition, the S154C comes with several other advanced features including an over-temperature alert sensor to warn against damage, measurement errors due to overheating, enhanced shielding to avoid electromagnetic interference, and compatibility with a range of C-Series power meter consoles and power and energy meter interfaces. The S154C also includes a non-volatile memory that stores sensor information data as well as NIST and PTB traceable calibration data, ensuring that accurate measurements can be made time and time again.
