The Newport 1916-C is a handheld laser optical power meter engineered for precise measurement across laboratory and field service environments. It delivers measurement capability from 1 nW to 10 kW depending on detector selection, with meter accuracy of ±1% ±5 µV and 1 second response time. The unit accepts Newport 818P Series High Power (Thermopile) detectors, 918D and 918L Series Low Power (Photodiode) detectors, 818 Series Low Power detectors with the 841-DIN adapter, and all Gentec-EO power detectors with automatic recognition and calibration download.
