This is an enclosure for our simple laser power meter, designed by Nicolás del Valle and Ignacio Olivares at the University of Santiago de Chile, capable of measuring CW laser power for low powered lasers. (More detailed information and a link to the work will be provided upon publication, such as the circuit and how to make the measurements).

The box has 2 holes for banana connectors, to measure the voltage, and a hole at the base to mount on an optical post for an experimental setup.

Parts needed for this project:

1. 1xPhotodiode
2. 1x1000 ohm resistor
3. 2x Banana connector
4. 1x 9v Battery
5. 1x Voltmeter for measurements
