The Newport 1930IS is a dual-detector optical power meter engineered for precise power measurements across visible and near-infrared wavelengths. It combines integrated Silicon and InGaAs detectors to deliver continuous coverage from 400 nm to 1650 nm, with measurement capability spanning pico-Watts to 250 milli-Watts. Seven selectable gain ranges enable both high-sensitivity and high-power applications. An integrated integrating sphere minimizes fiber-positioning sensitivity and delivers exceptional repeatability—critical for telecommunications and datacom laser power characterization in laboratory and field environments.
