Optical Power Meter OPM150

The OPM150 is a precision optical power meter used to measure the optical output power of lasers, LEDs, and other photonic devices. It is commonly used in research laboratories, production testing, laser characterization setups, and OEMs.

The wavelength range depends on the detector used. Artifex detectors support measurements from the UV through the near-infrared spectrum (250nm – 2490nm).es, Optical receiver modules

Unfortunately, no. The OPM150 uses photodiodes for power measurement and due to the strong wavelength dependence of the responsivity, only monochromatic light sources such as lasers and single colour LEDs can be measured.

The measurable power range depends on the detector and configuration, Artifex offers detectors covering a very wide range from nanowatts to thousands of watts.

We specify ±5% calibration accuracy for our detector heads. The base module (amplifier) is specified at ±1% accuracy.

If the pulse duration is long enough relative to the detector bandwidth. For very short pulses, the average power is measured. A more detailed explanation can be found here on our website:

Periodic calibration is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy. We recommend recalibration at least once every two years.

The device supports PC control for data logging and automated measurements.

Yes, we do. In order to simplify the process, a checklist detailing the specification which we require can be downloaded from the OPM150 Downloads tab and sent directly to our sales department with any additional information you believe is required.

Artifex Engineering Photodiode detectors and integrating sphere detectors which have a DB9 output port or a BNC to DB9 adapter compatible with Artifex Engineering devices.

Yes, integrating spheres are often used with the OPM150 to measure total emitted optical power.

This depends which detector is being used, but common optical inputs include fiber connectors or free-space detector interfaces. Fibre adapters are available for the Artifex Engineering free space beam detectors.

Yes, it is and is often integrated into automated test setups.

Typical maintenance includes:
– periodic calibration
– connector inspection
– optical surface cleaning (dusting with clean, dry air only)

Yes, they are designed for both research and industrial testing environments.

Artifex instruments support PC control for automation and data acquisition.

Custom control software or compatible measurement platforms can be used.

Users may combine devices such as laser drivers, power meters, and integrating spheres.

All Artifex devices can be integrated into automated optical test stations. Instruments with software come with a full software development kit (SDK) including our graphical user interface (GUI), source code and typically a LabView VI and / or Python driver.

Typical maintenance includes:
– periodic calibration
– connector inspection
– optical surface cleaning
