LOW
: The next lowest available wavelength near your desired wavelength.
HIGH
: The next highest available wavelength near your desired wavelength.
DESIRED
: Desired Wavelength.
: The difference between the desired wavelength and the inferior wavelength.
4.5.1 Example
You have a PH100-Si and your laser is at 632.8 nm.
See your CERTIFICATE OF CALIBRATION for the sensitivity of your power detector as a function of
the wavelength.

632.8 nm is between 630 nm and 640 nm therefore,
Sens
LOW_
λ
= 0.35 A/W
Sens
HIGH_
λ
= 0.37 A/W
LOW
= 630 nm
HIGH
= 640 nm
: 632.8 - 630 = 2.8 nm
Slope: (0.37-0.35)/(640-630) = 0.002
Sensitivity
desired_
: 0.35 + 2.8 * 0.002= 0.356 A/W
