Model 818-IS-1 and 918D-IS-1 Universal Fiber Optic Detectors use 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. Both are fully calibrated to a traceable standards over the wavelength range of 400–1650 nm. The 918D-IS-IG uses a single InGaAS detector and is calibrated over the range of 800-1650 nm. The 918D-IS-SL uses a single Silicon detector and is calibrated over the range 400-1100nm. The calibration data is encoded in a calibration module integral to the electrical connector. The 818-IS-1 is compatible with Newport's legacy power meters utilizing calibration modules, while the 918D-IS versions have an integral DB15 connector and are 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 is included with each detector, together with a rugged carrying ...

818-F Series Fiber Optic Detector Modules are optimized for measurements on connectorized fiber optics. These compact detector modules allow the connection of an optical fiber directly to the meter, configuring it as a dedicated fiber optic power meter. These detector modules are directly compatible with Newport meters that support the /CM detector option, which includes 1835-C/2835-C. In order to make it compatible with the power meters with a DB15 interface, such as 1918-C, an additional adapter, 841-DIN is required.
