Gigahertz-Optik manufactures light detectors for use in combination with Gigahertz-Optik optometers and accessories to form complete radiometric and photometric measurement systems. Detectors can also be used with integrating spheres to form the basis of uniform light sources and reflectance/transmittance instruments. A typical sensor head may consist of a photodiode, optical bandpass filter, diffuser, lens assembly or other input optic element. A complete range of detector head housings and configurations designed around the specific application demands of dynamic range, spectral range, physical size and measurement environment are available. All optical radiation detectors are calibrated and certified by Gigahertz-Optik´s calibration laboratory with both absolute sensitivity data and spectral responsivity plot provided.
Gigahertz-Optik detector heads come equipped with a connector type compatible with the particular model meter it will be used with (see table) and a two meter long cable (/LC cable extension option available). The (-2) calibration data type connector contains an Eeprom that stores the detector's serial number, model, units and calibration data or data table for automatic information transfer to the meter when connected. Both standard BNC and ITT - 9 Pin (MSDM9) connectors are straight through connections without internal Eeprom.
