(Newport Corp.: Irvine, CA) -- Newport Corp., a global leader in laser and photonic solutions that makes, manages, and measures light, has announced enhanced, calibrated Integrating Sphere Detectors. Ideal for measurement of output-light power of high-power light sources, the spheres optimize the measurement geometry for laser beams and other light sources, whether collimated or divergent. The new series includes Model 819C (collimated) and Model 819D (divergent); both deliver excellent NIST-traceable calibration uncertainties of less than 3 percent for most measurement ranges specified.

The calibrated integrating sphere models with a silicon (Si) detector operate from 400–1100 nm, and the ones with indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detector cover the spectral range from approximately 800–1650 nm. To accommodate various power-range requirements, the calibrated integrating spheres are available in 2 in., 3.3 in., and 5.3 in. diameters.
