S322C Thermal Power Head


The S322C is a power meter head, designed for power measurements up to 250W with low drift and good
resolution. It is an ideal choice for light sources with a broadband spectrum like ASE, LED, filament lamps or
swept sources, where calibrated photodiodes fail due to their strong wavelength dependency. The sensor
works from the UV to the IR with a flat response with low back reflection from the high damage threshold
broadband coating. Another excellence is the average power measurement from pulsed laser sources
whereby the peak power may be higher than the maximum rated power as long it doesn’t exceed the damage
threshold of the maximum power density.
To perform accurate measurements the S322C has to be zeroed before starting a measurement. For power
levels above 50W the fan must be connected with the 12VDC power supply to ensure a stable measurement.
The head has a built in thermistor to control a overheating of the sensor.
The S322C is compatible with all available Thorlabs power meter consoles. A non-volatile memory in the
sensor connector contains sensor information data and the NIST and PTB traceable calibration data.

Available Accessories

The S322C is compatible to the Thorlabs imperial and metric post and post-holder series. For attaching fiber
adapters or other optics four UNC 4-40 threads that are compatible with the Thorlabs 30mm cage system are
arranged around the detector area.

Cleaning and Maintenance

There are no serviceable parts in the S322C thermal head. The housing may be cleaned by wiping with a soft
damp cloth. The detectors on the thermal heads cannot be cleaned. Gently blow off any debris using
compressed air. If any scratches or other signs of damage remain on the sensor area, contact Thorlabs
service department for repair or replacement. If you suspect a problem with your S322C please call Thorlabs
and an engineer will be happy to assist you.

As long as the sensor has not been exposed to excessive optical power (please pay attention to the
maximum ratings in the technical specifications), the calibration should be very stable over long periods of
time (well over a year). To keep the accuracy and performance of the S322C, Thorlabs recommends a yearly
recalibration, starting one year after purchase.

WEEE
As required by the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) of the European Community
and the corresponding national laws, Thorlabs offers all end users in the EC the possibility to return “end of
life” units without incurring disposal charges.

This offer is valid for Thorlabs electrical and electronic equipment


 sold after August 13 2005
th

 marked correspondingly with the crossed out “wheelie bin” logo (see fig. 1)
 sold to a company or institute within the EC
 currently owned by a company or institute within the EC
 still complete, not disassembled and not contaminated

As the WEEE directive applies to self contained operational electrical and electronic products, this “end of life”
take back service does not refer to other Thorlabs products, such as
 pure OEM products, that means assemblies to be built into a unit by the user (e. g. OEM laser driver
cards)
 components
 mechanics and optics
 left over parts of units disassembled by the user (PCB’s, housings etc.).

If you wish to return a Thorlabs unit for waste recovery, please contact Thorlabs or your nearest dealer for
further information.

Waste treatment on your own responsibility


If you do not return an “end of life” unit to Thorlabs, you must hand it to a company specialized in waste
recovery. Do not dispose of the unit in a litter bin or at a public waste disposal site.

Ecological background
It is well known that WEEE pollutes the environment by releasing toxic products during decomposition. The
aim of the European RoHS directive is to reduce the content of toxic substances in electronic products in the
future.
The intent of the WEEE directive is to enforce the recycling of WEEE. A controlled recycling of end of live
products will thereby avoid negative impacts on the environment.
