The Newport 815 Power Meter is a benchtop optical power meter. The Newport 815 Power Meter measures continuous-wave optical power. The Newport 815 Power Meter provides switchable ranges from 1 µW to 1 W.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
The Newport 815 accepts signal input from a compatible photodetector head through a front-panel BNC input connector.[1]
The Newport 815 displays measured optical power on a front-panel LCD readout.[1]
The Newport 815 uses pushbutton range selection and a front-panel calibration trim control for measurement setup.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
The Newport 815 is used downstream of an optical source or optical path under test, where the meter reads the emitted power through a detector head.[1]
Applications
The Newport 815 is used to measure the output power of laser sources, LEDs, and other continuous-wave optical emitters.[1]
The Newport 815 is used in optical laboratories, photonics test benches, laser alignment setups, and optical fiber characterization work.[1]
The Newport 815 is used across micro watt, milli watt, and watt level optical measurements.[1]
