Universal Fiber Optic Detector, 410-1650nm, DB15 Connector

The 918D-IS-1 Universal Fiber Optic Detector uses a symmetrical integrating sphere design to ensure the most accurate calibration possible regardless of the fiber type measured. The integrating sphere uses a novel dual detector design with special optics that improve temperature sensitivity markedly from ordinary detectors. It is fully calibrated to traceable standards over the wavelength range of 410–1650 nm. The calibration data is encoded in a calibration module integral to the electrical connector. The 918D-IS-1 has an integral DB15 connector and is compatible with Newport's new power meters. Maximum versatility is provided by the detector’s dual port design. A variety of adaptors for connector-terminated fibers are provided and plug into the detector’s front port. The rear port is designed to measure light from straight and angle cleaved bare fibers using Newport’s FP3-FH1 bare fiber holder. A complete kit of adaptors, including the FP3-FH1, is included with each detector together with a rugged carrying case. Model 818-IS-1, which has a legacy 8-pin DIN connector, is available offline only.
