The PM100USB Console is a compact power and energy meter interface which allows PC control of an attached power or energy sensor. It contains many of the same features as the PM100D and PM100A Consoles, except it does not have a display screen or built-in console controls. Instead, the console and sensor are completely controlled via a USB connection and the supplied software. The PM100USB converts the signal from the attached sensor and transfers it to the PC.
The PM100USB is compatible with more than 25 standard photodiode, slim photodiode, integrating sphere, fiber, thermal, and pyroelectric sensors (see Power Meter Compatibility Chart). Additionally, it allows the connection of unamplified anode or cathode grounded photodiodes with up to 5 mA photocurrent, thermal elements with a maximum output voltage of 1 V, and pyroelectric sensors with a maximum output voltate of 100 V. Depending on the connected sensor, it can measure optical powers in the range from 100 pW to 200 W and energy from 3 µJ to 15 J. When used together with the ultra compact S15xC Series fiber sensor, the PM100USB becomes a compact and portable fiber power meter that is ideal for multi sensor applications.
PM100USB Control Software
Computer Control The PM100USB and connected sensor are controlled through a PC running the supplied software. The standard GUI offers three panels for the display of various numeric parameters, a larger main panel and two subpanels. The displayed parameter can be selected, i.e. power, energy and their min or max values as well as their units. The GUI offers data logging with graphical, tabular or histogram representation and statistical evaluation of the measurements. The data can be stored as a text file. A driver set for the integration into 3rd party software or customized applications is provided as well.
Console Design Like the PM100D the PM100USB features broad current and voltage measurement ranges and the capability of measuring power and energy. The AD converter allows for more measurement ranges of smaller spans, a higher acquisition rate, and higher precision. A selectable bandwidth of either 20 Hz or 100 kHz offers more flexibility and adaptability to specific measurement tasks while using photodiode sensors. The higher bandwidth is optimal for pulse-detection; the lower bandwidth offers better accuracy.
Additionally, the power meter can adapt to the thermal time constant of thermal sensors leading to significantly faster measurements with thermal sensors. Thermal sensors have an individual time constant that can vary greatly from unit to unit. Like the PM100D, the PM100USB can adjust to this individual constant for each sensor and thus minimize the response time of the system (sensor + console).
Fiber Power Meter Option The compact, integrated, fiber sensors of the S15xC Series can be connected directly to the PM100USB turning the PM100USB into a compact, single unit fiber power meter. Any handling limitations due to cable movements or cable handling are avoided thus making this device ideal for multi-sensor applications that do not require a console but is controlled remotely via PC. The S150C offers exchangeable fiber adapters for FC, SMA, LC, SC, ST, and LC fiber connectors. Please see the Fiber Compatibility tab for more information.

A selectable bandwidth of either 20 Hz or 100 kHz offers more flexibility and adaptability to specific measurement tasks while using photodiode sensors. The higher bandwidth is optimal for pulse-detection; the lower bandwidth offers better accuracy. Power and energy density can also be displayed based on user input beam areas. Optical sources may be attenuated / gained electronically through the console. Note: Attenuating the source through the console will not attenuate the light at the detector and damage may still occur above the detector threshold power.
Thorlabs' complete line of Sensor Heads are shown below. Utilizing the variety of sensors, the PM100D can measure optical power and energy from CW and pulsed sources. Sensors are available for monitoring low power CW laser diode emission to high power excimer, YAG, and CO2 laser pulses.
The PM100USB can be used in the lab, as well as in the field with our fiber coupled sensors. Please see the Applications tab for a small sample of possible configurations. Contact tech support with any applications based questions.
Additionally, the PM100USB communicates with the sensor and accesses spectral response functions, time constants, and other information specific to the detector. The PM100USB then corrects for spectral response functions automatically. The power meter also accounts for the detector time constants (which can vary greatly, especially for Thermal sensors) for each sensor and can minimizes the response time of the system (sensor + console), thus greatly improving the efficiency of the unit.
Sensor Upgrade Service
Thorlabs' Sensors and PM100USB Console are not compatible with old power meter consoles and sensor heads, respectively. We offer a sensor upgrade service if you want to use your existing sensors with a new power meter console. Note: upgraded sensors will be incompatible with old power meter consoles and new sensors converted to work with older consoles will not be compatible with the PM100USB. Please contact our tech support team for details.
Sensor Head Compatibility Chart
Thorlabs has been expanding and improving on its power meter consoles and sensor heads over the past several years to meet the demanding needs of our customers. Sometimes this creates compatibility issues. The chart to the right shows compatible and incompatible sensors and consoles. A complete compatibility chart showing all Thorlabs' current and former generation sensors and consoles is also availalble here.
Fiber Compatibility Chart
Many of Thorlab's power meter sensors are directly compatible (see S15xC Sensors) or can be made compatible with the use of the adapters listed below. The chart below shows all of Thorlab's sensors and the compatible fiber adapters. Note that there may be more than one adapter for each sensor. A complete list of compatible fiber adapters for all of Thorlabs' current and former generation sensors is available here. Contact tech support for any specific questions regarding these options.
a with adapter plate S120-S140 b with adapter plate 'cage - S120' c Fiber Sensor includes FC and SMA connectors (LC, SC, and ST optional) d Fiber Sensor includes FC connector (SMA, LC, SC, and ST optional)
Thorlabs Standard Photosdiode Sensors compact design allows easy integration into existing setups. Typical mounting configurations including post, cage, and lens tube options are available. Shown on this page are several different choices for mounting these sensors.
The Standard Photodiode Sensors are compatible with all S120-xx Series fiber adapters. FC/PC and SMA adapters are shown on the right. Adapters for SC, LC, and ST connections are also available.
Flip up mounts are convenient for quick power measurments from a static location. The sensor can be placed in the path of the laser beam for the power measurment and flipped down during normal operation of the system.
FM90 Right Angle Flip-Mounts are shown to the right. Thorlabs also offers the TRB1 Articulating Post Mount. The lockable articulating mount offers almost unlimited positioning of the sensor head. The articulating mount is shown on an S13xC Slim Photodiode Sensor below.
The Standard Photodiode Sensors also feature SM1 threaded connections on the front face. The SM1 theading provides easy mounting to 1" lens tube systems and quick release mounts.
Note: Due to the thickness of the S12xC sensor, the QRC1A and CP90F (shown below) quick release mounts can only be fully removed from the cage system by backing them off an open end. The two mounts are easily removed from the cage system if only three cage mounts are used. See the picture on the right.
Thorlabs' Slim Photodiode Sensors are designed to fit into tight optic arrangements such as cages, lens tubs, and optic dense free space arrangements.
Shown to the right is a S130C Sensor inserted into a 30 mm cage system. The application shown highlights the ease for which the sensor can be inserted into the cage, and the minimal space needed to take a power measurment.
The Slim Photodiode Sensors may also be mounted on a TRB1 Articulating Mount. This mount allows repeatable insertion of the sensor into tight optic arrangements. After the measurement is made, the sensor may be rotated out of the beam path for normal operation.
Thorlabs' Integrating Sphere Photodiode Sensor provides a low loss cavity for diverging, non-uniform, or off-axis beam measurements. These integrating spheres are ideal for all fiber based applications due to the beam divergence at the end of the fiber.
Shown to the right is an S140C Integrating Sphere with S120-FC Fiber Adapter. Also shown is an S140C with a S140-BFA Bare Fiber Adapter. The Bare Fiber adapter features a mounting clamp and light shield to decrease interference from ambient light.
Thorlabs' Compact Fiber Photodiodes are the ideal choice for a portable, fiber coupled power meter. The S15xC sensors are compatible with a wide variety of fiber connections. PM20-xx adapters are available to couple FC, PC, SC, LC, SMA, and ST connectors with the sensors. Shown to the right is a S150C Sensor with FC and SMA connector adapters.
Shown to the far right is a PM100D console with S150C sensor connected to a FC connectorized optical fiber. This setup is ideal for portable in the lab and in the field use.
Thorlabs' Pyroelectric Energy Sensors are ideal for measuring pulsed sources. These pyroelectric sensors provide direct energy readings for those sources. The sensors are designed to handle medium to high energy pulses from Excimer, YAG, and other high power lasers.
Mounting options include post (with insulating adapter) and cage configurations, shown to the right.

A response from Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback! The communication of the PM100USB is based on the USBTMC protocol. We rely on the VISA engine to create a stable overlayer on the USBTMC but if one does not want to use the VISA engine, it is of course possible to address the USB port directly at a USBTMC level. I will contact you to discuss further the possible approaches for the driver implementation you plan.

It would be great to provide the Linux driver or low level USB specification to write the driver. We don't need NI plat form, which consumes huge resources (incl. cost.), to drive this powermeter.

Hi, I have 3 of these products and am trying to use them for prolonged testing purposes, > 1000Hrs constant use. I find them very easy to set up and use, but I have found that they constantly crash. I am using a Labview 2009 program, based on your supplied Labview example code, which seems to work fine most of the time. However, I am getting sporadic crashed of 1 or more power meters which require a power down to fix. The code is running under Windows 7, do you know of any issues with this combination?

a response from Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. Several PM100USBs can be connected to the same hub. We actually provide a small utility software that allows to readout up to 8 PM100USB simultaneously. This utility can be downloaded from the software page of the PM100USB. Concerning the Iphone compatibility, the PM100USB software is entirely NI VISA based, which is as of now unfortunately not compatible with Iphones yet.

I was wondering if you have given any thought to making a PM100USB App for the iPhone etc. Our company currently does not provide smartphones or tablets to its employees but you can kind of see where things are heading...
On a related topic, we have one of these, could I connect multiple PM100USBs to a single USB port via a USB hub?
