1.1.2 Thermal Power Sensors 1.1.2.1 Low Noise Lock In Power Sensors RM9 interface module with synch connection Features ֺ ֺ Chopper and lock in amplifier for lowest noise and drift ֺ ֺ Wavelength range from UV to deep IR ֺ ֺ RM9 pyro is not sensitive to background radiation From source The RM9 series Radiometers use a pyroelectric or photodiode sensor in conjunction with chopped CW or quasi CW radiation, using a digitally synthesized lock-in amplifier to reduce external noise to a minimum. The signal is passed through the 18Hz chopper and the chopped signal is detected by the sensor. All signals not at this 18Hz frequency are suppressed. The output of the sensor is displayed on a standard Ophir meter or PC interface. The chopper may be placed at any convenient location but preferably close to the signal source so as to eliminate interference from all unchopped radiation.

At other wavelengths, there is an additional error as follows: <500nm add ±8%, 1100 – 3000nm add ±5%, 10.6µm add ±15% Notes: (b) At calibrated wavelengths 200 – 1100nm. For <700nm add ±2% additional error Notes: (c) For LaserStar, Pulsar, USBI, Quasar and Nova/Orion, upper limit is 1mW for RM9 and 90nW for RM9-PD. For these models, accuracy may also be less than values given above Notes: (d) Averaged over 10s Notes: (e) In a typical laboratory environment Notes: (f ) The RMC1 or another chopper unit that can be set to 18Hz is required for operation of the RM9 sensors For latest updates please visit our website: www.ophiropt.co
