Silicon photodiode detectors that mount directly on monochromator slits for UV–NIR measurements at good light levels.

DSi series detectors are rugged silicon photodiodes for measurements where a reasonable amount of light is collected. Each detector sits in a housing with a BNC signal connector and a mounting flange that attaches directly to the slit assembly of Omni-λ series monochromators. The DSi200 is UV-enhanced for 200–1100 nm, while the DSi300 is a blue-enhanced general-purpose version.

Key Features

  • Two versions: DSi200 UV-enhanced (200–1100 nm) and DSi300 blue-enhanced (350–1100 nm)
  • 100 mm² active area (Ø11.28 mm) on both models
  • Housing with BNC signal connector and flange for direct mounting on Omni-λ series monochromator slits
  • Current output; the ZAMP I-V transimpedance amplifier is recommended ahead of an oscilloscope or lock-in amplifier
  • Connects to the DCS300PA data acquisition system without a separate preamplifier, as amplification is built in; with the DCS103 the ZAMP is recommended
  • NEP of 4.5×10⁻¹³ W/√Hz (DSi200) and 2.0×10⁻¹³ W/√Hz (DSi300)

Typical Applications

  • UV, visible and NIR measurements with scanning monochromators
  • Transmission, reflection and absorption spectroscopy
  • Spectral characterization of light sources
  • Lock-in detection of chopped optical signals
