(posted 2019-10-22 14:37:04.1) Does Fiber Optic Power Meters have Built in Backlight feature ? dpossin
(posted 2019-10-24 08:47:59.0) Hello Dayana,
Thank you for your feedback! In case you mean a backlight for the display, unfortunately we currently do not offer this feature. Priya R
(posted 2019-10-21 22:45:44.04) Hi,
Is PM20CH integrated into a single unit for display and Keypad? MKiess
(posted 2019-10-25 09:31:06.0) This is a response from Michael at Thorlabs. The Thorlabs PM20CH is a complete, easy to use fiber-optic power measurement system with built-in optical sensor.
It has five operating keys and a display with which you can make all possible settings on the device itself. user
(posted 2019-04-15 10:14:54.383) Hi! We have recently bought a PM20CH power meter almost a month ago. Initially just to check the device it was working properly. But while doing the experiments and with its constant use it is found that if the battery is full it works fine when no charger is attached to it but the moment you plug the charger it shows a constant smudged display which seems to be CHARGING and the screen is fixed with it and one can't do any measurements.
What might be the reason for it?
The device is certainly under warranty period. swick
(posted 2019-05-15 03:32:15.0) This is a response from Sebastian at Thorlabs. The "charging" should disappear on the display after few seconds.
As you did not left contact details on this feedback, please contact your local Thorlabs Office for immediate help. user
(posted 2018-11-20 01:52:38.42) Hi!
Actually I have been trying to measure and verify the power of a fiber laser which has a power stability of 0.1 % with PM20 CH fiber optic power meter but the reading of the power meter fluctuates and is not providing a stable output power reading.
Can you please specify the stability of the power measured by this PM20CH power meter? nreusch
(posted 2018-11-28 05:51:35.0) This is a response from Nicola at Thorlabs. Thank you for your inquiry! I am sorry to hear that you are not able to get a stable output reading. Unfortunately, we only specify an absolute uncertainty of +/-0.25 dB. The stability and repeatability of the PM20CH are definitely lower than this value. As you did not leave any contact information, please contact your local Tech Support team to discuss wavelength, absolute power and extent of fluctuations you are observing to check whether your PM20CH shows a normal behavior. jan0dirk.lueuer
(posted 2018-08-26 13:17:06.387) Can this powermeter be used to measure short pulses (around 200 ns)?
We tried measuring powers (approx. 150 mW) and see a lot less power than we get using power heads. nreusch
(posted 2018-08-29 06:59:26.0) This is a response from Nicola at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. The PM20A contains a Silicon photodiode sensor. We do not recommend measuring nanosecond sources with this type of sensor. I will contact you directly to discuss alternative options. srikanth
(posted 2018-07-11 04:04:48.793) What are implications for power measurements FC/APC connected pigtails?
What are resolution (optical power) and linearity of the power meter?
Is the power meter calibrated over entire wavelength range in steps of 5nm?
LDT of 50W/cm^2 for (PM20CH) turns out to be ~32dBm; please confirm. swick
(posted 2018-07-13 05:26:30.0) This is a response from Sebastian at Thorlabs. Thank you for the feedback.
The linearity is +/- 0.5 % and the resolution depends on the power range but is basically 14 bit.
For using FC/APC connectors we recommend to use PM20-FC as fiber adapter.
The calibration step size is 5 nm over entire wavelength range.
The damage threshold is specified to be 50 W/cm² which is not necessarily equal to +32dBm because not the complete sensor size gets illuminated in most cases. This finally depends on the fiber type used. ana.cardenas
(posted 2018-06-19 13:50:16.06) We aquired a PM20CH and we would like to know if it is possible to get an adapter for free space measurements. mvonsivers
(posted 2018-06-21 08:05:20.0) This is a response from Moritz at Thorlabs. Thank you for your inquiry. The PM20 series is only designed for fiber coupled measurements, however, for free space beams the fiber adapter could just be removed. Dee1g12
(posted 2017-11-22 18:06:31.78) Can the charger be bought separately?
If so, how much do they cost?
Thanks,
Sincerely,
-David- mvonsivers
(posted 2017-11-27 08:42:52.0) This is a response from Moritz at Thorlabs. Thank you for your inquiry. Currently we do not offer a replacement power supply as standard product. However, any power supply with the following specifications can be used: 12V, 850mA, 2.1mm/5.5mm plug. I will contact you directly for further information. schaefer
(posted 2017-02-15 14:08:06.713) Hi! We have used a P20A unit for a long time and it seems like the battery has suffered quite a bit - after recharging it until 'battery is full' it takes only a couple of minutes until it says 'battery low' and with the AC plugged in there is a constant 'charging' text getting in the way of the actual measurement. Is there any way to replyce the battery or at least turn of the recharging message blinking? wskopalik
(posted 2017-02-21 03:16:46.0) This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry.
Yes, we can exchange the battery in these powermeters. I have contacted you directly to arrange the exchange. nicholas.sinclair
(posted 2014-08-21 08:36:54.13) Just a follow-up to the previous response about the active area of the PM20A. The specs on the webpage say 3.6 mm^2, but the manual says (3.6 mm x 3.6 mm), which is correct?
Since you mentioned the possibility of the beam being too large at the sensor, I'm curious what is the max acceptable NA for a single-mode fiber to avoid this issue (or if you could just tell me the approximate distance from the fiber tip to the sensor).
Thanks! shallwig
(posted 2014-08-22 10:04:06.0) This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry.The sensor size is like stated in the manual on page 10 3.6mm x 3.6mm http://www.thorlabs.com/thorcat/14100/PM20A-Manual.pdf I am sorry if the information on the website were confusing here. The distance between ferule and detector plane is 3,7 +/- 0,3mm.
I will contact you directly to discuss you application in detail. user
(posted 2014-04-17 17:17:37.477) Dear Tech-support,
could you please confirm if PM20A is compatible with standard 1mm POF (@650nm and 850nm)?
best regards
Michal shallwig
(posted 2014-04-25 04:12:55.0) This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. To decide if a fiber is suitable we would need to know the NA and diameter, since it is possible to over illuminate the sensor. We specify the sensor size with 3.6 mm^2 active area. If the beam is larger, in the plane of the sensor, you will loose light and measure accuracy will be effected. Also, the damage threshold of the sensor may be an issue. We specify a damage threshold of 50 W/cm2.
If your fiber has one of the standard connectors, you can exchange the FC/PC adapter for one of the adapters we provide as accessories on our website: http://www.thorlabs.de/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=906.
Regarding the wavelength range, both 650nm and 850nm lie within the specified wavelength range of the built-in Si detector. To discuss in more detail the compatibility of your specific light source + fiber unit with our PM20A I will like to contact your directly. bdada

(posted 2009-12-27 13:19:08.0) Hej - jag jobbar med laserbehandlingar mot tunnhårighet. Vi vill nu jämföra lasrar på marknaden. Alla lasrar på denna marknad säger sig ge 5mW av 650nm våglängd. Dioderna är fastsatta på plattor så jag måste ha en bärbar enhet för att komma åt att mäta eller om det finns någon fiberadapter att sätta mot dioden och att mätinstrumentet står på ett bord bredvid.
Tror ni att ni har någon sådan produkt för oss? Det är inte superprecision jag är ute efter men absolut ingen leksak heller.

(posted 2008-01-04 11:56:03.0) The PM20C does indeed come with a FC-adaptor. That item is available under the "accessories" section in case you need to purchase another one. The ST adaptor is avilable using the orer code (PM20-ST). Shortly, you will also see an LC adapter featured on this page (PM20-LC). We hope this information is helpful and apologize for the confusion. ruudg
(posted 2008-01-04 05:52:49.0) dear madam/sir
recently I have ordered a PM20C from you, plus some extra adaptors.
there is some small discrepancy here:
in the specs from the PM20C it says that it comes with an FC adaptor included, and that SC, ST and SMA can be ordered as extras. however in the list of extras you can only choose FC (again?) SC and SMA. can you please check with what standard adaptor the PM20C really comes and/or provide me with an ordering code for the ST-adaptor?
By the way, when will you be delivering the ordred PM20C?
