CONEX-PSD Two-Axis Position & Power Sensing Device System Environmental Specifications Operating temperature 5 °C to 40 °C Operating humidity 20% to 85% relative humidity, non-condensing Location Indoor use only Sensor Characteristics NOTE The values are estimated based on the sensor manufacturer’s typical values at ambient temperature.
CONEX-PSD Two-Axis Position & Power Sensing Device 2.4.2.2 Wavelength Consideration The sensor should be operated with beam power between 0.1mW and 1mW. Nonlinearities and saturation can occur above 1mW. Sensor Care The input window is coated with a soft silicone resin. Avoid touching the window to keep grime from accumulating or prevent surface damage that can decrease the PSD's sensitivity.
CONEX-PSD Two-Axis Position & Power Sensing Device Functional Description Principle Position Sensing Devices (PSDs) consist of a p-n junction photodiode in which two sides of the junction have electrically separate contacts. X, Y positions returned by the Get Position GP command are given according to the above referential.
The maximum current generated by the sensor is 0.5 mA for Si and 1mA for Ge. In case of higher beam power, it is possible to mount Newport neutral density filter such as model “FBR-NDxx” on the Newport “Model 883-OH 1" filter holder.
To minimize this effect, it is recommended to shield the sensor from stray light. One or several Newport filter holders can be used for that. 4.1.2 Filtering and Attenuation Several types Newport filter can be mounted on the Newport “Model 883-OH 1" filter holder. For example: Absorptive Neutral Density Filter (FSR-xxxx):...
CONEX-PSD Two-Axis Position & Power Sensing Device Or Bandpass Filter (10BPFx-y): Or Mercury Line Filter (10MLFx-y): NOTE Keep in mind to take filter attenuation into account in the measurements. Optimizing Controller Parameters 4.2.1 Offset Controller offset can be used to compensate for stray light. Proceed as follows: Prepare your optical setup.
• 4.2.3 Frequency (LF 0-1000) CONEX-PSD sensor features an analog filter with a fixed cut-off frequency of 319 Hz for Si sensor and 136 for Ge sensor. This allows an average power measurement for pulsed lasers. An additional programmable low pass filter can be set to increase noise immunity (such as the 100~120 Hz coming from room fluorescent lights) using the command: “1LF80”.
Two-Axis Position & Power Sensing Device Appendix: Firmware Version V2.2.x Not every command can be executed in all states of the CONEX-PSD and some commands have different meaning in different states. It is therefore important to understand the state diagram of the controller, see section Ready Config.
