Newport 818-IS-1 Universal Fiber Optic Detector
The Newport 818-IS-1 has an advanced design using an integrating sphere for detection of fiber-optic signals. The instrument was designed for precision measurement of optical power and optical energy. It will be particularly useful in the areas of telecommunications, laser manufacture, and research & development for accurately measuring a variety of fiber-optic light source types. It uses a patented dual-port, dual-detector technology, which allows for excellent measurement capabilities over a wide spectrum (400 - 1600nm) and in addition to this technology, the detector contains a highly reflective thermoplastic sphere that enhances the calibration stability of the detector by eliminating the influence of temperature and humidity changes.
Each detector comes as a complete set and is immediately available for use. The set includes the detector housing, several adapter options for ST, FC and SC connector configurations, an adapter for holding bare fiber (FP3-FH1), two blank plugs, Allen wrenches, and a comprehensive calibration data sheet containing NIST traceable certification. The detector can accommodate both connectorized fibers on the front port and bare fibers on the rear port of the detector, allowing for great flexibility. All of the calibration data is stored in the connector of the detector and allows for easy connection to compatible Newport power meters and for automatic configuration of the detector and highly accurate measurements.
The detector can measure high power levels, up to 250 mW for bare fibers and 1 W for connectorized sources, and therefore is very effective for testing high-powered laser and LED systems. In addition to being able to measure high power levels, the design of the detector is also insensitive to temperature changes and variations in fiber cleavage, thus providing consistent results. Therefore, the 818-IS-1 is a good choice for many industrial automation and test systems requiring a reliable, calibrated device for monitoring processes, controlling product quality, and calibrating systems to ensure that fiber-optic sources operate at or above specifications.
