General Information
The Thorlabs PM160x Power Meters consist of an ultra-slim sensor connected to
a portable power meter with a built-in graphical organic LED (OLED) display.
The ultra- lim sensor end of the device connects to the handle with a joint
mechanism that allows 270° of rotation. The PM160x can be run as a hand held
device or remotely using the Bluetooth or USB connections. Settings can be
changed either directly on the PM160x or through the utility software Optical
Power Monitor
OPM
from a PC, tablet or laptop that is connected via a fast USB interface or
Bluetooth. This makes it easy to integrate the instrument in test and
measurement systems.
The OPM
software,
including the instrument drivers, is available for download from the Thorlabs
website. Please refer to the user manual of the
OPM
software for detailed function description.
The PM160x is available in three versions with different sensors:
- PM160: The silicon photodiode detects laser light or other monochromatic or near monochromatic light of optical power between 10 nW and 200 mW, and within the wavelength range of400 – 1100 nm. ·
- PM160T: The thermal sensor detects light with optical power between 100 mW and 2 W, within the wavelength range of 0.19 – 10.6 µm.
- PM160T-HP: The high-power thermal sensor measures light with optical power between 10 mW and 70 W, and within the wavelength range of 190 nm – 20 µm.
- PM160T and PM160T-HP are also capable of measuring power of broadband light sources due to their integrated thermal sensors and flat absorption curve. They are well suited e.g. for LED, SLED and supercontinuum sources.
Attention
Please find all safety information and warnings concerning this product in the
chapter Safety in the Appendix.

5.3 Energy Saving
The PM160x features display dimming and an automatic shut down in order to
save battery and the lifetime of the OLED display.
Display Dimming
When a button is pressed, the display brightness is set to 100%. 7 sec after a
button was pressed last time, the display is dimmed to the brightness that can
be adjusted in the menu “Brightness “, between a “Min” value and 100%.
Note
The “Min” value is 1% in local operation mode (Interface: “Local Only “)10 and
0% in remote mode (USB or Bluetooth interface enabled and remote connection
established). This is a convenient feature when using the PM160x remotely in
a darkroom: The stray light from the OLED display is eliminated.
Auto Shut Down
During battery charging via the USB cable, the auto shut down is disabled, but
after a certain time the display is switched off (“Stand-by”). The tablebelow
illustrates all possible states:
Interface Setting | Operation mode | USB Cable | Stand by | Shut down |
---|---|---|---|---|
Local Only | local | no | never | 20 sec |
yes | 20 sec | never | ||
USB or Bluetooth | no | never | 5 min | |
yes | 5 min | never | ||
