• 82324B
The 82324B cylindrical-type optical sensor is available for attachment to test equipment, for measure-
ment on an optical bench, or for optical fiber system measurement. Adapters to accommodate each op-
tical connector are available. The 82324B is a 3-wavelength sensor available for blue-ray optical disks,
DVD, and CD, and wavelengths ranging from 390 nm to 900 nm can be measured. It has a flat sensitiv-
ity characteristic especially for wavelengths ranging from 400 nm to 420 nm. Therefore, even if the
wavelength of the light source is different, a highly accurate measurement can be performed without
wavelength sensitivity correction. The standard calibration wavelength is 405 nm. The calibration
wavelength addition option (650 nm: OPT82324B+22 or 780 nm: OPT82324B+23) can be added. Char-
acteristics in the blue light are optimized, and low reflectivity, low incident angle dependence, and low
polarization dependence are achieved. The 82324B has sufficient sensitivity in the 650-nm band used
for DVD and in the 780-nm band used for CD. Because blue-ray optical disks, DVD, and CD can be
measured without replacing the sensor, this sensor is ideal for evaluating pickups and drives used for
the 3-wavelength type Blu-ray disc or HD DVD. The actual measurement value for wavelength sensi-
tivity correction is saved in the memory of each sensor.

1.2 Applicable Optical Power Meters
The following shows the relationship of the optical power meters and software revisions applicable to the
823xxB series optical sensors:
If the software of your optical power meter does not match the following revision, the software needs updat-
ing. Please visit our website, and download and install the applicable firmware.
NOTE:
1. If the software revision of the optical power meter is not applied, "Err 2" or "Err 3" is displayed.
2. Optical sensors for the 823xxB series cannot be used for the TQ8210 and TQ8215 optical power meters.
