High Precision, USB Digital, Calibration Transfer StandardsWe have taken our unique Optical TRAP Detector technology and mated it to our powerful USB based digital electronics to create our SST-D set of Digital Optical TRAPs. These new instruments have the same optical performance as our Silicone SST TRAP Detectors but can be used without need of a Preamp or Picoameter. Simply download our full featured, executable LabView Applications Software and connect our SST-D-TRAP to your PC with a USB cable and you’re ready to o measure and calibrate with incredible accuracy.
The Current Responsivity of each TRAP is determined from physical constants in the equation RI (A/W) = νλ / 1239.5 at the wavelength interest. The Quantum Efficiency of the TRAP "q" is expected to be >99% in the 0.41 to 0.98 µm range. The Responsivity of each TRAP is confirmed by comparison to our Golden Standard Optical TRAP which was calibrated by NIST Boulder.
Model SST-D-TRAP-C is configured for collimated or low divergence sources (i.e. <+/- 10º).
Model SST-D-TRAP-D is designed for divergent sources (i.e. <+/- 15º, but can also be used with collimated sources).

The graph above compares the Current Responsivity (Ri) vs. Wavelength for our high Quantum Efficiency SST-TRAP, a 100% QE device and a single element photodiode.
Note the extremely close correlation between our TRAP and the theoretical curve. The spectral response of a single detector can vary greatly and can only be calibrated to about +/- 3% accuracy. The calibration uncertainty of our TRAP can be as low as 0.5% (see Calibration Uncertainty in the specification table on the reverse side).
