Configuring Laser Wavelengths
Metallic and PD10 Heads
For metallic and PD10 heads, the absorption of the detector coating varies
somewhat according to wavelength. The correction curve for the absorber is
stored in the head EEROM. This correction curve ensures that the power reading
is correct at all laser wavelengths.

Broadband (BB) Heads
Broadband (BB) heads have less variation according to wavelength. For
broadband heads, fixed wavelength ranges are provided, similar to thermopile
heads.

Selecting the Range
Pyroelectric heads cover a wide range of energies (from tens of nanojoules to
tens of joules) depending on the type of head in use. In order to provide accuracy
throughout the range, the electronics of the head must be configured to work in a
range that is most suited to your needs.

Warning: While measuring pulsing lasers, an erroneous energy reading will
result if the energy range is not set up correctly.
