Before You Buy: Learn About Intensity Noise Measurement Equipment
Intensity noise measurements are based on a fast photodiode in conjunction with suitable electronics and possibly software. Advanced instruments allow for rapid and reliable measurements of relative intensity noise (RIN) and other laser noise characteristics, crucial for high-precision applications.
Some aspects to consider before buying intensity noise measurement equipment: wavelength range, allowed range of optical input powers, range of noise frequencies, measurement accuracy, measurement time, sensitivity, user interface, digital output, data processing software, durability, size and weight, calibration requirements.

Product Description
Thorlabs 43 Sparta Avenue Newton, NJ 07860 United States
Thorlabs manufactures a high-precision intensity noise analyzer for measuring intensity noise in optical systems. Featuring a DC to 3 MHz input frequency bandwidth, this device overlaps data from several sample rates to optimize resolution bandwidth and provide high frequency-axis resolution over its full bandwidth; the 9 Hz minimum resolution bandwidth is ideal for resolving low-frequency noise sources. With a nominal noise floor less than -140 dBV2/Hz, this low-noise instrument is designed to identify environmental noise sources in an optical experiment, such as ambient lighting or electrical line noise. Ideal applications also include light source and instrumentation development, where characterizing noise levels or detection limits is critical.
