818/918D-IG,IR: Fiber Adaptor and CORE-IR installation
Fiber optic adaptors for the 818/918D series detectors allow the user to perform optical power measurements when working with bare and connector terminated optical fibers. FP3/FP4 series connector adaptors accommodate optical fibers terminated with SMA, ST and FC connectors. These adaptors can be easily attached to the 818-FA fiber adaptor mount with two screws, allowing for easier insertion and unplugging for fiber optic connectors. Also, when working with the small area detectors (818/918D-IG,IR), it is highly recommended to use an FP4-CORE-IR series adaptor core. The core allows the user to make accurate measurements from connectorized fibers regardless of input conditions by using collimating optics to collimate the beam and thus prevent detector overfill effects.
