With these photodiode sensor accessories, you can adapt your free space detector to accept connectorized or bare optical fibers. Because the beam coming out from the fiber is divergent, it is important to consider the distance between the fiber tip and the sensor size. In order to make accruate measurements, the beam diameter must be smaller than the active diameter of the sensor. The new 884 series fiber adapters are screwed directly onto the sensor head, while the FP3/FP4 series adapters require an additional fiber adapter mount, either 818-FA or 818-FA2. For low power measurements, consider our 818 Fiber-Optic Photodiode Sensors. When you use an 818 series with the attenuator on, or a 918D series sensor, please refer to the diagram on the right.
The 884 series, including the new 884-E2000FC and 884-ADAPT, is our new fiber optic adapters with 1.000-40 thread that can directly mount to an 818 or 918D series detector head. These adapters minimize the distance between the fiber tip and the detector surface to make sure that the spot size is smaller than the detector active area. It is the best adapter option for silicon and UV detectors either with or without using the attenuator. These adapters are also good for low power applications up to a few mW for 818-IR and 818-IG series sensors without using the attenuator. However, with the attenuator, because of the large distance between the fiber tip and the sensor surface, the beam overfills the sensor and the measurement will have a large error.
FP3/FP4 Series Connector Adapters accommodate optical fibers with SMA, ST, FC, SC and LC connectors. The adapters are attached to the 818-FA Fiber Adapter Mount with two screws. Use these adapters, together with the FP4-COL-1550 collimator, when you need to use the attenuator with the germanium or InGaAs detectors to measure > 10 mW power. As an example, the video shows how to properly insert the FP4-COL-1550 into an FP4-LC Fiber Connector Adapter.
For our germanium and InGaAs detectors whose active diameter is 3 mm, use the new FP4-COL-1550, which replaced the obsolete FP4-CORE-IR. It has a collimating GRIN lens with the AR coating optimized for 1550 nm ± 30 nm. Typical insertion loss is approximately 0.2 dB at 1550 nm. Note that FP4-COL-1550 is not spectrally calibrated and it cannot be used with the FP3-SMA adapter.
918D-IS-SMA, 22494-01S, 31850-01S, 31856-01S and 22493-01 are compatible with our 918D-IS Series Fiber-Optic Integrating Sphere Sensors. These fiber optic connector adapters accommodate optical fibers terminated with SMA, FC, LC, LC or ST connectors.
884-ADAPT Fiber Adapter Ring features 1.000-40 thread and allows the fiber optic connector adapters available for the 918D-IS series, such as part numbers 22493-01, 31850-01S, and 31856-01S, to be mounted on an 818 or 918D series photodiode detectors.
