1 ULTRA SERIES UP POWER DETECTORS

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Gentec-EO Ultra Series UP power detector family includes eleven series (XLP12, UP12E,
UP17P, UP19K, UP25N(M), UP25Z(T), UP50N(M), UP55N(M), UP60N(M), UP55G, and UP60G) of
opto-thermal sensors with different cooling options (stand alone, heat sink, fan and water), with or
without amplification. The high power surface absorber sensors are designed for use at high average
power densities.

UP60N(M) 60 89 x 89 5 mW to 700 W
UP60G 60 120 x 120 15 mW to 600 W

The UP detectors are supplied with a 180 cm length flexible cable with output connection options of a
DB-15 "intelligent" male connector, a BNC connector, a Molex connector and a BNC/Molex
connector. A few exception exist: the UP50N series is available with BNC/Molex connector on special
order only and the XLP12, UP60N(M), and UP60G series are only supplied with a DB-15 “intelligent”
male connector.

NOTE: To eliminate possible damage, do not carry the detector using the connector cable.

The UP detectors may also be supplied with a stand. Be aware that when using a detector with a heat
sink, the fins should always be placed vertically.

For cases where Gentec-EO’s monitors don’t automatically read the wavelength correction factor, you
TM
can use your detector’s “Personal wavelength correction Certificate” to adjust the power you read
to a power corrected for a particular wavelength.

Call your nearest Gentec-EO distributor to replace the sensor disk and/or to recalibrate the head. For
Gentec-EO’s nearest office contact information, see p. ii, Contacting Gentec Electro-Optics Inc.

1.2 POWER DETECTOR CONNECTORS

1.2.1 DB-15 “intelligent” connector

The DB-15 male "intelligent" connector contains an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory) with different information such as the model of the detector, the calibration
sensitivity, the applicable scales and the wavelength correction factor for up to 20 wavelengths related
to the Ultra Series UP detector head in use.

This connector, available in the UP without amplification, allows the TPM-300CE, DUO (model of the
detector, calibration sensitivity and scale) and SOLO (model of the detector, calibration sensitivity,
scale and wavelength correction factor) monitors to adjust their characteristics automatically to the
power sensor being connected. No calibration procedure is required when installing the power heads,
allowing for faster set-up.

The DB-15 connector pin-out is composed of (see Fig. 1-1):

1.5 UP POTENTIOMETER POSITIONS

The UP with amplification has 3 holes on top of the detector for the UP12E, UP19K and the UP25Z(T)
and on the left side of the detector for the UP25N(M), UP50N(M), UP55N(M) and the UP60N(M)
giving access to the potentiometers to adjust the gain, the anticipation and the offset, as shown in
figure 1-8.

WARNING : If you are using Gentec-EO calibration, DO NOT change the

potentiometer settings because this would invalidate factory calibration.

1.6 USING A CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED HEAT SINK

This is a special case. Standard detectors are calibrated and shipped complete with a Gentec-EO
heatsink or back module installed. However, should the customer wish to install an alternative
heatsink or back module, the following indications should be followed. This does not apply to the XLP,
UP_P, UP_Z, UP_T, UP_M, and UP_G series.

Instructions :
1. Required specifications for customer-supplied back module are given in Fig 1-10 through 1-
12. Note that tapped holes must be electrically conductive, and that there has to be at least
bare spots to allows electrical contact with detector (see point 5.).

2. While keeping together the front cover and the central housing, remove the four front screws
of the UP detector.

3. Discard the back module.

4. Apply electrically-conductive silver epoxy on the bare contact zones of the back module (Tra-
Con, Tra-Duct no. BA-2902). This will ensure proper electrical contact between the new back
module and the central housing.

5. Apply thermal paste (such as Wakefield Engineering Inc. thermal paste part no. 120-2) on the
remainder of back module. This will ensure proper thermal contact with the new back
module.

6. In the case that both central housing and back module are entirely bare and electrically
conducting, a grease that is both thermally and electrically conductive (Timtronics Black Ice
712) may be applied, instead of steps 4. and 5.

7. Install the new back module onto the detector using the the four original screws. It is strongly
advised to apply removable thread locker (Loctite removable thread locker 242) on the
screws before inserting them. The recommended torque for each of the 4 screws is 6 in.lbs.
(70 Ncm).

2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

In order to ensure a long lifetime of accurate measurements, it is recommended that UP wattmeters be

held within the following ambient conditions stated in the specifications.

For a fan-cooled UP, connect the fan to the proper power supply.

NOTE: The UP55G and UP60G must only be used with the Gentec-EO Power Supply P/N
201103.

For a water-cooled UP, connect the detector head to a an cooling water supply. The water-cooled UP
is equipped with ¼’’ tube fittings .

NOTE: The end of the tube must be cut perpendicular to the tubing; the portion of the outer
tubing wall that slips into the fitting must not be deformed or damaged, otherwise
the connection will not be water-tight.

To connect the detector head fittings to the water supply tubing, unscrew the two parts
of the fitting, push the tubing into the part not connected to the detector until it comes to the end of the
fitting; then screw in the two parts of the fitting.

The direction of flow through the head is unimportant. Once you have connected the fittings, check
them for leaks. If you find a leak, check to see if the tubes are pushed in far enough and that the
tubing has not been damaged.

Verify that the flow rate satisfies the minimum values, as indicated on the specifications pages. A flow
rate of at least 1 l/min is recommend for most models. Time variations of water flow rates or water
temperature may cause corresponding oscillations in measurements.

To disconnect the detector head fittings, remove the water pressure and drain the water from the
tubing. Unscrew the two parts of the fitting and pull out the tubing.

NOTE: Water will usually remain in the detector head after it is disconnected. The detector
should be completely dried out with an air flow before being stored. Be careful not to
blow the water on yourself or on the detector aperture.

Once appropriate cooling is achieved, the UP is ready to be aligned in the intended optical set-up.

1. Remove the power detector cover.

2. Align the detector in the optical set-up, using a safe low-powered beam.

3. For the most accurate measurements, the beam should be centered on the sensor face. The
beam diameter on the sensor should ideally be the same size as the beam diameter of the
original calibration, which corresponds to >98% encircled power centered on 50% of the
sensor’s surface (this complies with the International Electrotechnical Commission standard
#1040: "Power and Energy Measuring Detector..."). Refer to calibration certificate for the
exact calibration beam diameter.

WARNING: Be careful not to exceed the maximum levels and densities stated in
the specifications.

2.1 WITH ANY GENTEC-EO MONITOR

To make a measurement Gentec-EO monitor, continu with the following steps:

4. Connect the detector head to the input socket on the monitor (see the monitor’s instruction
manual).

5. Block off the detector head to prevent it from sensing heat from random sources.

6. Once the reading is thermally stable, the reading should be set to 0 W with the monitor’s Zero
(Offset) function (see the monitor’s instruction manual).

7. Allow the detector head to thermally stabilize before making any subsequent measurement
reading.

2.2 WITHOUT A GENTEC-EO MONITOR

To make a measurement without a Gentec-EO monitor, continu with the following steps:

4. Let the head thermally stabilize for at least 10 minutes, and set up cooling (if fan- or water-
cooled).

5. Connect the power head to a precision microvoltmeter, or data acquisition system, with a load
impedance that is >100 k (UP without internal circuit board) or with a load impedance >10
MΩ (UP with internal circuit board). Because of the very low voltages at lower power levels for
some of these detectors, analog or digital filtration may be required to remove ambient
electrical noise.

6. Put the power head into the laser beam path (the laser beam must be contained within the
sensor area) for about one minute.

7. Block off any laser radiation to the detector.

8. Switch on the microvoltmeter and adjust its voltage range to the range required for the range
required for the measurement. To determine the voltage range to be measured, refer to the
detector head specifications:

Vout = (expected power) x (calibration sensitivity of power detector)

9. Wait until the signal has stabilized (fluctuations representing less than 1% of the voltage level
being measured are negligible) then, measure the zero level voltage offset from the detector.
Strong fluctuations in the zero level are usually caused by one of the following:

 Rapid fluctuations in the rate of water flow.

 Rapid fluctuations in water temperature.
 Strong drafts or stray radiation (especially visible when you are taking
low power measurements)
 Ambient electrical noise (should be filtered out).

10. Apply the laser beam to the power head.

11. Wait until the signal has stabilized (between one to three minutes for optimum
measurements), then measure the voltage output from the detector (refer to specifications
pages for individual head 0-95% non anticipated response times).

12. The measured power is calculated as follows:

Ultra Series UP Instruction Manual Gentec Electro-Optics Inc. All rights reserved
 Version 4.3 26
Measured power[W] = (output voltage[V] - zero level voltage[V]) / calibration sensitivity[V/W]

= 1000 x (Vout[mV] - Vzero level[mV]) / calibration sensitivity[mV/W]

2.3 SAFETY OPERATION NOTES

Diffusive surfaces
When using the UP with a coating H, W, and VR be aware of the diffused back reflection:

- H and W: ~ 5-15%
- VR: ~ 40-45%

As on any diffusive surface, the light on the sensor coating is scattered more or less uniformly
as a Lambertian diffuser. It is recommended to use the head with a black protective sleeve.
This will limit wide-angled diffused reflections.

Detector temperature while in operation

During usage, detectors can become hot enough to cause burns.

3 DAMAGE TO THE OPTICAL ABSORBER MATERIAL

Damage to the optical absorber material is usually caused by exceeding the manufacturer's
specifications, such as:

- Incident Average Power Density

- Incident Pulse Energy Density

Refer to the specifications pages for the Ultra Series UP power head specifications. Damage may
also be caused if the absorber surface is contaminated. A slight discoloration of the coating does not
affect the calibration.

In any case, the beam’s incident area should not be less than 10% of the detector’s aperture. Please
contact Gentec-EO to make measurements with such smaller beams.

In the event of significant damage to the coating, the Ultra Series UP sensors can be recoated.
Contact your local Gentec-EO representative for information on repair and recalibration. See p. ii
Contacting Gentec Electro-Optics Inc.

Appendix B: Using the XLP12 with the XLP12 filter:

The XLP12 filter features ease of installation and removal. To use an XLP12 series wattmeter (@
any wavelength) with the XLP12 filter, the user must calibrate the assembly using the following
procedure:

Step 1: Set up the XLP12 wattmeter without the filter to measure the power of your laser. Adjust
the sensitivity of the wattmeter to your working wavelength. Verify that the power level is below the
detector’s damage threshold and that the laser has a good stablity.

Step 2: Warm up the detector by applying power to it for a few minutes. This will reduce thermal
bias.

Step 3: Measure the power level (without the filter). To reduce random uncertainty, we
recommend taking the average of 5 distinct measurements.

Step 4: Install the filter. Without changing the laser settings, measure the power level by
averaging the same number of distinct measurements as in Step 3. All laser settings remain
identical as in Step 3, including beam size and position on detector.

Step 5: Repeat the first measurement (Step 3) to verify that there hasn’t been any change during
the procedure that would invalidate the calibration. A difference that is larger than the uncertainty
of your measurement means that something in the laser or environment changed. You may add
this to your  uncertainty when using the filter or you may try stabilizing the laser and environment
and repeat from Step 3.

The correction multiplier for the Duo (rev 2.0) and the Solo will be given by:

Appendix C: Using the XLP12 with an optical fiber adaptor:

When fitted with an appropriate adaptor, such as Gentec-EO’s FC Optical Fiber Connector, the
XLP12 can be used to measure the output of an optical fiber. When using an optical fiber
adaptor, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that the entire output of the fiber is incident upon
the detector's absorbing surface. Figure 1-10 and the following inequation are provided as a
guide to verify this.

FIG. 1-15 USING AN OPTICAL FIBER ADAPTOR

For the XLP12, the distance in mm between the absorbing surface and the adaptor seat is b =
3.75 ± 0.5. The diameter in mm corresponding to 80% of the absorbing surface (80% is a
common value for allowing sufficient margin to avoid edge effects) is d = 10.7. The acceptance
angle  of the fiber is specific to the user’s fiber, as is the value of a, the distance in mm between
the end of the fiber and the interface between the adaptor and its seat on the detector. This value
can be measured once the user’s fiber is connected to the fiber adaptor (a typical value may be a
= 0.2 mm). Once known, the values  and a can be entered in the following inequation:

 a  4 tan   5.35 ,
Where, 5.35 is d/2. If the inequation is verified, then it is safe to consider that the light cone,
having a height x = a + b and a maximum diameter d, exiting the fiber is entirely incident on 80%
of the measuring surface of the detector.
