818T-10 In Stock

The 818T-10 by Newport is a High-Power Detector designed to offer precise power measurements for a wide range of pulsed and continuous wave (CW) sources, spanning from ultraviolet (UV) to far infrared (IR) wavelengths. In conjunction with specific compatible optical meters, this detector is also capable of accurately quantifying energy within pulses. Distinguished by its proprietary high damage threshold surface, this detector excels in its ability to endure power densities up to 10 times higher than conventional "black" thermopiles. This characteristic significantly broadens the detector's operational capacity. The detector's diffuse reflectance front surfaces effectively mitigate specular reflections, contributing to enhanced measurement accuracy. With an 11% diffuse reflectance, it is imperative to carefully direct any reflected beam into a suitable beam dump to ensure optimal performance. The 818T-10 showcases a distinctive response curve. Rather than portraying absolute responsivity, the response curve illustrates relative responsivity in relation to wavelength. This unique attribute underscores the detector's adaptability to a diverse array of applications across the UV to far IR spectrum.
