C Series Flexoptometer

  • Product No:C Series Flexoptometer
  • Manufacturer:Gamma Scientific

The C Series flexOptometers are thermo-electrically cooled optical power meter systems designed for high-sensitivity measurement applications.

The C Series includes an integrated controller that is compatible with UDT Instruments thermo-electrically cooled silicon and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detectors.

C Series flexOptometers offer 10 times greater sensitivity than the standard flexOptometer products, making it the ultimate tool for measurement of low light levels.

The C1 model provides single stage cooling of the detector, and the C2 model provides dual stage cooling for applications that require a detector/filter combination. For high sensitivity applications, cooling of the detector and the filter is critical to accurate measurements.

The C Series flexOptometers have eight measurement ranges accessible through the front panel touch display or via serial and USB interfaces.

Options include high-accuracy photometric correction filters (f1’ ~0.8%), flat response filters, and NVIS compatibility filters with field-of-view lenses, making the C1 and C2 Series flexOptometers the standard for any light measurement requirement.

C Series flexOptometers allow for extremely low dark current levels <70 femtoamps; 70 x10-15 amps, at room temperature with the silicon detector) and excellent stability.

Standard calibrations are available for any configuration of the C1 and C2 series of flexOptometers from Gamma Scientific’s NVLAP accredited testing laboratory.
