PRONTO-Si

Delivery 3-6 weeks when out of stock.

Overview

The PRONTO-Si is a compact, portable photodiode-based laser power meter engineered for measuring low output powers in the visible (VIS) to near-infrared (NIR) spectral range. It is designed to provide fast, accurate, and user-friendly laser power measurements, making it ideal for laboratory, industrial, or field applications where portability and precision are essential.

Key Features

• Measurement Range: Capable of measuring continuous laser powers from as low as 200 picowatts (pW) up to 800 milliwatts (mW), with minimum detectable power as low as 0.3 nanowatts (nW) thanks to its very low noise level of 10 pW.
• Spectral Sensitivity: Operates over a broad wavelength range, from 320 nm to 1,100 nm, covering most common visible and NIR laser sources.
• Target Size: Features a 10 mm × 10 mm measurement area, suitable for a wide range of beam sizes.
• Detector Type: Uses a silicon (Si) photodiode sensor, providing rapid response for low-power laser measurements.
• Integrated Attenuator: Includes a built-in OD1 neutral density filter that can be engaged to extend the measurement range up to 800 mW of continuous power.
• Display & Interface: Equipped with a color touchscreen LCD, offering intuitive touch controls for measurement, brightness adjustment, wavelength selection, and screen orientation.
• Data Management: Internal data storage is available, with USB connectivity for downloading saved measurements to a PC.
• Battery & Power: Powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery; recharged via USB port for convenience.
• Compact & Portable: The entire device is lightweight (0.33 lb), compact (8.34 × 0.59 × 1.61 inches), and can be folded for added protection and easy carrying.

Accessories and Compatibility

• Mounting: Two 1/4-20 threaded holes allow for stand or tripod mounting (stand sold separately).
• Fiber Adapter Compatibility: Comes standard with adapters for 1.25 mm (LC) and 2.5 mm (FC) ferrules; optional adapters for 3.2 mm (SMA) and dual fiber connectors are also available.

Durability and Safety

• Laser Damage Threshold: Can withstand up to 100,000 W/cm², ensuring reliable operation with most laboratory and industrial laser sources within its power range.
• Thermal Management: Cooled by convection, suitable for the intended power range.
• Certifications and Compliance: CE, UKCA, EN 61326-1 certified; REACH and RoHS 10 compliant.

Additional Details

• Brand: Gentec-EO
• Typical Applications: Precision laser alignment, fiber-coupling optimization, academic and industrial research, QA/QC laser system validation.
