Absorber Types Used in Newport Pyroelectric Measuring Sensors
The main absorber surface types used in Newport Pyroelectric measuring sensors include:
Metallic Type:
The type with no suffix in the name have a partially reflective multilayer
metallic coating which absorbs approximately 50% and whose absorption graph is shown in
. The metallic coating permits very high repetition rates, up to 25000Hz as
well as relatively high damage threshold.
Photodiode Based:
Unlike the other sensors, the Photodiode energy sensors have a silicon
Photodiode with a neutral density filter mounted permanently in front of it. The filter detector
combinations are calibrated over the entire wavelength, and therefore the sensors have a high
