Hand-Held Uv-Vis-Nir Flash Energy Optometer

Gigahertz-Optik's P-9710-2 Optometer features a pulse energy mode and compact size enabling on-site measurement of flashing or modulated light sources. But with fifteen other menu selectable modes of operation including CW, dose, RS232 remote control (optional Windows based software) plus datalogging, the P-9710-2 is equally at home in the laboratory.

The P-9710-2 is capable of measuring the pulse energy (joules, J/cm², luxAs, effective candela) of single and multiple pulsed events >1 microsecond in length. Auto-ranging allows the user to zoom-in on the correct gain level with the last setting stored for future use. Independent of signal magnitude, system bandwidth is 0.166 Hz (at 6s) to $300 MHz within the unit's current measurement range of 0.1 pA to 2 mA.

Other key features include adjustable sampling time (100 fs to 6 s) and continuous offset of the pre-trigger light level as well as computation of luminous effective intensity based on the Schmidt-Clausen method.

All essential detector data is stored in the detector's data coupler so that any number of sensors with associated components like optical filters, integrating spheres and other input devices can be interchanged on the optometer for error free system set-up.

A wide range of UV-Vis-NIR detectors is available specifically configured for applications such as the measurement of luminous intensity of Ophthalmologic flash heads and strobe light warning signals or the radiant energy of pulsed Xenon sources used in UV Curing equipment.

The P-9710-2 price is $1224 with detectors starting at $459.
