The YPM-8202-04 photodetector is a silicon material detector that covers the 380nm to 1100nm band range. It also offers an optional OD1/OD2/OD3 attenuator to expand the measurement range. Two data acquisition methods are available: DB15 with a meter display and USB direct connection to a PC.

The YPM-8202-04-L model utilizes a DB15 interface, which needs to be connected to the power meter for data reading, data storage, and power monitoring. The meter also reserves a USB communication interface, which allows for the uploaded data collected on the detector to be analyzed and collected in the optical power measurement software on a PC.

In contrast, the YPM-8202-04-U detector uses USB communication and can be directly connected to a PC without a meter for data acquisition. However, the PC requires the installation of optical power measurement software to enable real-time data acquisition, data analysis, and power monitoring. Additionally, the USB type photoelectric detector can easily form a multi-channel power acquisition system, and the data from multiple detectors can be collected and displayed simultaneously through a USB Hub.

Digital communication

The detector completes the data acquisition and processing, and uses digital communication with the optical power meter to reduce external interference.

Measurement of free-space light or optical fiber

The detector allows the user to measure free-space light, as well as the laser transmitted through the fiber using our fiber optic connector adapter (FC or SMA).

Attenuated tablets can be matched

The YPM-8202 series photodetectors are available with an optional OD1/OD2/OD3 attenuation pad to extend the power measurement range.

Calibration data

The calibration data is electronically stored in the detector that corresponds to it. The customer will receive a corresponding calibration report along with the detector upon shipment. This report lists the detector's response to the spectrum within the relevant wavelength range, at 10 nm intervals. If an optional attenuator is present, a separate set of calibration data will also be included in the electronic storage and calibration report. We provide paid calibration services, and to maintain measurement accuracy, we recommend that you calibrate your detector annually.
