These convection cooled gold integrating spheres are designed for high power laser applications in the near to mid infrared (NIR and MIR). They provide good power handling capability up to 40W (CW). The back plate of the sphere is lapped and coated for mounting to liquid or forced air cooled cold plates. With a suitable cold plate, the sphere can withstand up to 500W (CW) power.
High power measurements are often performed using thermopile detectors. Thermopiles however, have the disadvantage of reacting very slowly – typical rise times lead to measurement periods of 1 second at best. The combination of an integrating sphere and a photodiode based power meter opens the possibility of measuring high power fluctuations on a µs time scale. This can be useful for setting up and debugging high power CW lasers.
These spheres may be combined with our OPM150 or OPM500 series of power meters via fibre coupling. Just plug it in to your USB port and start measuring!
- Ports: SMA or FC fibre
- Number of ports: 2 or 4

Universal Port Adapter for SP50 Integrating Sphere | Our universal port adapter is a flexible accessory for the lab environment. The adapter is mounted to the front surface of the integrating sphere using four screws. Different threaded holes and drill holes allow the mounting of parts from standard optomechanical systems from third-party providers, e.g. cage and tube systems. | Flexible | • SP50 |

FC-Adapter for SP50 and G65 Integrating Spheres | FC fibre adapter to allow fibre input to integrating spheres and free beam optical power meter detector heads. This adapter uses our proprietary design to eliminate back reflections into the detector which would otherwise result in miscalibration of the detector. The mounting holes are compatible with our P50 and G65 integrating spheres. |
