The sensitivity S [V/W] is the ratio of voltage U [V] generated due to the incident laser power P [W] on the sensor. The voltage generated depends on the Seebeck coefficient of the thermoelectric material; hence it is a material specific constant. [9] The incident power can be calculated by measuring the sensor voltage and using the formula:
An avalanche photodiode (APD) is a highly sensitive type of photodiode, which in general are semiconductor diodes that convert light into electricity via the photovoltaic effect.
The silicon avalanche photodiode is a high-gain photon detector. They are "ideal for use in high-speed, low-light-level applications". [3] The avalanche photodiode is operated with a reverse bias voltage of up to hundreds of volts, slightly below its breakdown voltage.
Thorlabs, Inc. is an American privately held optical equipment company headquartered in Newton, New Jersey. [2] The company was founded in 1989 by Alex Cable , who serves as its current CEO . His daughter, Jennifer Cable, serves as president. [ 3 ]
Avalanche photodiodes are photodiodes with structure optimized for operating with high reverse bias, approaching the reverse breakdown voltage. This allows each photo-generated carrier to be multiplied by avalanche breakdown , resulting in internal gain within the photodiode, which increases the effective responsivity of the device.

An optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power in an optical signal. The term usually refers to a device for testing average power in fiber optic systems. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers , photometers , laser power meters (can be photodiode sensors or thermopile laser ...
