1) Power meter dependent. Minimum 1% duty cycle is recommended.

2) Maximum peak power density for OD3 attenuator that comes with the 818/918D Series detectors is 2W/cm2.

3) N/A

4) Upper power limit depends on several factors, e.g., sphere size, port aperture size and wavelength.

5) These detectors actually measure power, but the energy can be derived by the calculation, energy = power/(rep rate).
