XLP12 eXtreme Low Power Detector

xlp12 Low Power Detector

Gentec-EO introduces the new thermopile-based eXtreme Low Power detector, the XLP12 for low power measurements in both the µW and mW regimes with very low thermal drift. Featuring a broadband flat response and a noise equivalent power as low as 1 µW, the XLP12 is ideally suited for any pulsed or CW low power laser.

  • µW to W Range
  • Thermopile-Based
  • Minimal Thermal Drift
  • Flat Spectral Response
  • High Sensitivity
