The unique wavelength measurement capability “self calibrates” the wavelength dependent response of the detector. Thus there is no need to enter a wavelength for an accurate power measurement allowing it to act like a spectrally-flat thermal detector.
Unlike thermal detectors the OMH-67452B uses integrating spheres and photodetector technology to provide instantaneous optical power and wavelength measurements. The OMH-67452B is designed for manufacturing testing to increase device throughput by eliminating the need to wait for the thermal detector to settle. Additionally the unique wavelength measurement and NIST traceable power accuracy gives it added benefits in R&D test applications.
