(Newport: Irvine, CA) -- Newport Corp., a global supplier of lasers and photonics solutions that make, manage, and measure light, introduces the new family of 818-ST2 and 818-ST2-UV wand detectors. Designed with highly protective aluminum housing, the detectors operate from 200 to 1100 nm. The specifications are identical to Newport’s legacy 818-ST and 818-ST-UV Series, which will be phased out in four months. Sturdy metal cases for both new products are designed to safeguard the optics in the setup, especially in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range, and keep the housing and attenuator glue protected from potential high heat damage.
