Section 1 General Information System Overview The Model 1825-C is an accurate and flexible optical power and energy mea- suring instrument that provides features typically found only on advanced single purpose optical meters: Simple front panel controls, annunciated digital and analog displays, and compatibility with Newport’s full line of detector families allow the Model 1825-C to meet almost any DC, AC peak-to-peak, pulsed or integrated exposure measurement requirement with minimum fuss.
Many detectors and detector accessories are available for use with the Model and Services 1825-C Power/Energy Meter. In addition, detector accessories are available. Refer to Figure 1 for the Model 1825-C Power/Energy Meter family tree. For more information, please refer to the Newport Catalog.
Newport’s compatible detectors. Display The Model 1825-C combines a fast response 3.5 inch analog display with a 3.5 digit annunciated LED display, see Figure 2. The full scale reading of the analog display alternates between 2 and 5 as the RANGE knob is rotated so that it can display signals below 2.00 with higher resolution.
For general operation, only the front panel controls are used. The rear panel controls and settings are primarily used for meter/ detector setup. The front panels of the Model 1825-C are shown in Figure 3. The following table gives a short description of each control: Table 2 —...
Figure 4 — Model 1825-C Rear Panel Detail 2.3.1 RANGE The RANGE knob adjusts the signal gain of the Model 1825-C. It has twelve positions covering 6 decades of signal gain. Intermediate gain positions only change the full scale reading of the analog display and do not effect either the digital display or the analog output.
2.3.4 MODE The front panel MODE knob sets the method of signal acquisition that the Model 1825-C will use with a given detector. Not every mode can be used with every detector. Table 3, below, indicates which modes are compatible with the various Newport detector types.
1. Turn the Model 1825-C off and insert the charging plug into the rear panel 12V DC input. 2. Plug the AC adaptor into the wall. You may now turn the Model 1825-C back on.
See Section 2.4.1. 2.4.3 Detector Connection and Setup Connect the detector to the INPUT BNC found on the rear of the Model 1825-C. You may connect or disconnect any Newport Low-Power, High-Power or Energy detector at any time without damage. Adjust the SETUP dip switches to reflect the type of Newport detector that the Model 1825-C is being used with.
The EXP. ADJ. rarely needs to be set more than once when using the Model 1825-C with a particular detector. However, it is still wise to check that the EXP. ADJ. does not need resetting when making measurements at multiple wavelengths.
2.4.6 Signal Integration The Model 1825-C provides a circuit which measures optical energy by electronically integrating the signal from a power sensing detector. This mode of operation is only compatible with Low-Power and High-Power detectors. Signal integration is enabled when the MODE switch is set to INTEG.
If the CAL slide switch is set to BEEP ON while in the P-P mode, the Model 1825-C will give a short “click” with the arrival of each trigger. This is particu- larly useful for infrared wavelengths and for listening for changes in the pulse repetition rate.
Figure 9 — Pulse Signal Detection 2.4.9 Detector Acceleration Time Constant The Model 1825-C provides a circuit to electronically accelerate the risetime of Newport’s High-Power thermopile detectors. Acceleration occurs when the SETUP switch position 8 is set to “1”. A back panel potentiometer, ACCEL ADJ., is used to adjust the time constant of the acceleration circuit to match...
Figure 10 — Detector Time Constant ACCEL. ADJ. Setting 2.4.10 Analog Output The Model 1825-C provides a 0 to 2 volt BNC analog output for signal monitor- ing. The analog output voltage reflects actual measurement by being equal to the digital display’s digits and ignores the decimal point position. Thus, if the digital display indicates 1.560, then the analog output voltage will be 1.560...
These detector families are based on semiconductor, thermopile and pyroelec- tric detectors respectively. A block diagram of signal flow through the Model 1825-C is shown in Figure 11. The actual flow through the diagram depends upon the MODE and SETUP switch settings.
The flexibility of the Model 1825-C is required in order that it may properly measure the signals that various types of detectors make. Optical power or energy is related to a detector signal, S , in the following way: λ...
1,000 to 10,000 times greater than silicon. These dark currents can be zeroed by the Model 1825-C’s ZERO knob. Since dark currents drift with temperature, the ZERO should be adjusted just prior to taking any measurements. The noise or drift in the dark current sets a lower bound on the measurement resolution which can be achieved with any given detector.
(or air currents when using Newport’s High-Power disk thermopile detectors) which is not coming from the source, and turning off room and other lights. Performing Basic Basic measurement techniques for using the Model 1825-C are covered in the Measurements following sections. Also included are methods of background correction and common measurement errors.
1. Set up the meter to reflect the Newport Energy Detector, the calibration factor at the wavelength of light you will be making your energy mea- surement at.
The system measurement accuracy of the Model 1825-C Power/Energy Meter is primarily governed by the calibration accuracy of the attached detector. The electronic accuracy of the Model 1825-C generally exceeds the calibration uncertainties of a detector by a decade or more. However, as NIST calibration capabilities improve, system accuracies will begin to experience the influence of electronic accuracy uncertainties.
