LASER COMPONENTS has announced the release of a two dimensional position sensing module with an active area of 45x45mm. Designated the PSM2-45, it is an analogue device which functions according to the Lateral Effect Photodiode principle to display excellent resolution with positional accuracies of up to 1.25µm.

The PSM2-45 has a standard wavelength response range of 400-100nm, or it can be offered in a 200-400nm version for UV detection. In order to create an easy fast paced solution to your alignment tasks and projects, the PSM2-45 features an RS232 port which is plug-and-play compatible with LASER COMPONENTS’ range of position sensing detector amplifier boards.

The sensor is delivered as a complete unit with housing. It is plug-and-play compatible with any position sensor amplifier that creates an analogue output signal proportional to the x and y position of the incident light. In most cases, the extremely low linearity error (which is typically 0.3%, but can reach a maximum of 1%) across the whole area renders any corrections using complicated tables obsolete.
