ThorLabs S122 Optical Power Meter System Overview
Features:
- Flexible Optical Power Measurement System
- Graphic LCD Read-Out Display
- Controlled by an Easy-To-Use Keypad
Thorlabs offers a complete line of interchangeable sensor heads to use with the S110 console. Large area silicon and germanium semiconductor heads cover a range from visible to near IR with 10nW sensitivity. For higher power measurements, Thorlabs offers a line of thermal sensors that will measure up to 10W.
c Each sensor head includes a non-volatile memory chip, which stores the NIST-traceable calibration of the sensor along with other relevant data such as model number, serial number, etc. The console automatically recognizes the attached sensor head at power up and adjusts the system accordingly to maintain NIST-traceable, reliable power measurements.
The LCD graphics screen displays the real-time optical power in large, easy-to-read digits while a fine resolution bar graph provides instantaneous graphical feedback of the power reading. An X-Y plot mode provides an oscilloscope-type display of the power reading. For process monitoring, real-time statistics such as min/max/mean/std dev are accessible through the statistics mode. The display includes a backlight for easy viewing in dim lighting conditions.
The console includes an RS-232 serial port as a standard feature for remote access to the power meter.
The ThorLabs S122 Optical Power Meter System may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

ThorLabs S122 Optical Power Meter System Description
Functions
This equipment precisely quantifies optical power across a 700-1800 nm spectral range, from 10 nW to 5 mW, using a 5 mm diameter Germanium sensor. It delivers NIST traceable measurements with 1 nW resolution and +/- 5% uncertainty, enabling accurate characterization of near-infrared light sources and optical systems.
Applications
Measures optical power within 700-1800 nm range. hardware platform: Compatible with Thorlabs power meter consoles. Connects via cable to console for data readout and control; 0.39" aperture for optical input. Characterizing laser diode output, measuring fiber optic transmission losses, aligning optical systems, and quantifying infrared light sources.
Accessories
The optical power meter system utilizes a Germanium photodiode to measure optical power within a 700-1800 nm spectral range, with a 10 nW to 5 mW power range and 1 nW resolution. The 5 mm diameter sensor provides NIST-traceable measurements with +/- 5% uncertainty, interfacing via a 0.39" diameter input aperture. The system outputs power readings.

What Customers Are Saying
- Brian S.
Artisan saved us headaches and money by helping us find a replacement Tektronix VXI module. Finding quality replacement parts is difficult and I'm glad they had what I needed.
- Arvind P.
We have some test equipment in our lab from the 1990's that stopped working about 2 years ago. It sat in the corner collecting dust, but we took on a project last month that required more machines. After talking to Artisan, we found out we could get parts to fix our machine for much less than buying a new one!
