We're a young company but one with a wealth of experience based on a Senior Technical Staff. We understand lasers, sensors, electronics, measurement and calibration methodology. We pride ourselves in the creation and development of unique laser instrumentation that provides the best solution to measuring the optical power or energy of your source.
We've developed a wide selection of products including Hybrid Pyroelectric Detectors, Laser Power Meters, Laser Energy Meters, Optical Power Meters, Broadband Pyroelectric Radiometers and THz Detectors and Instruments.
We work closely with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to keep abreast of the latest calibration technology and methods. We've transferred unique Optical TRAP Probe technology from NIST Boulder and developed a line of Calibration Transfer Standards from it.
We have designed and built a number of custom calibration standards for NIST Gaithersburg including Temperature controlled Pyro Radiometers, Thermally compensated Optical Detectors for Photon detector calibration, Precision thermally stable preamplifier standards, to name a few.
We pride ourselves on working closely with you, our customer, to provide the best technical solution to your challenging optical measurement needs.

April 7, 2010 - Don Dooley, President of Spectrum Detector, announced that they successfully completed the design and development of the Pyro Array in March 2010 and delivered it to University of Manchester in the UK. Read More
A laser power meter is an optical instrument that is designed to measure the Radiant Intensity (i.e. power) of a pulsed or CW (continuous wave) laser in terms of Watts. The are typically made up of a laser probe (i.e. detector), electronics and a meter ... Read more
A laser energy meter is an optical instrument that is designed to measure the energy of pulsed lasers in terms of "Joules" (watt/seconds). They typically include a reasonably fast energy probe, electronics and a meter (readout) ... Read more
First lets define a Radiometer as an instrument that measures the intensity of electro-magnetic energy sources in terms of radiometric units like Watts, Watts/cm2, Watts/st, etc. These measurements might be made in a narrow spectral region ...with Radiometers that use photodiodes for instance ...
