The 818-ST and 818-ST-UV low power wand detectors put all the performance of the popular 818-SL (silicon) and 818-UV (UV-enhanced silicon) detector into a narrow-profile, hand-held wand. Incorporating a large area 10 mm X 10 mm photodiode, these slim optical sensors are ideal for laser and other optical power measurements in tight locations with busy setups. It even provides a built-in calibrated OD3 attenuator at the flick of a button. The UV-enhanced detector is packaged in aluminum housing to avoid burning of plastic housing, resulting in potential damages on optics in the setup, especially in the UV wavelength range. The calibration module is detachable from the BNC connector, allowing interfacing with Newport meters, an oscilloscope, or a current meter as well.
All detectors are supplied with a NIST traced calibration report that details individual detector responsivity measured with and without attenuator. The standard BNC connector allows flexible interfacing with oscilloscopes, lock-in amplifiers or current meters. The model indicated by the /DB suffix come with an additional BNC/DB15 calibration module that provides direct compatibility with Newport’s latest power meters, including 1916-C, 842-PE, 1918-C, 1931/2931-C, and 1936/2936-C. The models indicated by the /CM suffix come with an additional BNC/8-pin mini-DIN calibration module ...

The models indicated by the /CM suffix come with an additional BNC/8-pin mini-DIN calibration module that provides compatibility with legacy Newport power meters such as 1835/2835-C. In both cases, the /CM and /DB adapters contain also the detector calibration data, model number, serial number and calibration date for seamless operation with the power meter.
