All PSoC Application Notes

AN2287: Laser Power Meter, the PSoC Way

The introduction of laser emission safety regulations necessitates simple instrumentation for user monitoring and regulatory purposes. These instruments must accurately calibrate and maintain their calibrations over long periods of time and a fairly wide temperature range. This performance must be achieved within the optical transducer. The objective of this Application Note is to implement a PSoCTM device (8-pin DIP) with the suitability of silicon photodiodes as the transducer and achieve stability that is likely to be from a commercial company.
