A power meter body for photodiode detector
I designed a holder for a photodiode so it could be positioned and handled like a small optical power meter. The design gives the diode a practical body, protects the sensitive face, and makes alignment easier on an optical table.
Actualized holder, built and ready for measurement work.
A practical lab tool
The assembly includes a round base, protected detector face and practical mounting geometry. Small mechanical details like access threads, cable clearance for soldering and part orientation matter when the tool is used repeatedly. Above is a picture of the final product, inside an anti-static bag. Below are the exploded images of the assembly along with the 2D drawing of the main part.
