Measurements requiring a tunable source
If you need to make measurements
at various fixed wavelengths, or if the
test device must be characterized as
a function of wavelength, then the
compact tunable laser module is the
ideal candidate for your test needs.
In combination with a power sensor
or an optical head you can setup
a complete measurement system for
wavelength dependent loss.
Measurements requiring a stable
fixed source
To take the uncertainty out of moni-
toring loss over long periods of time,
Agilent’s sources are stabilized and
very insensitive to backreflections.
For your convenience there are single
and dual wavelength source modules,
available with an output power of up
to +13 dBm. The output power of the
sources can be attenuated for applica-
tions where you need lower power
levels.
Precise, sensitive, stable and fast
power measurements
You can be sure of the best possible
measurement results thanks to the
excellent accuracy, high linearity and
low polarization dependent loss (PDL)
of our full range of power sensors and
optical heads.
To meet your test requirements, our
range of sensors and heads cover the
important wavelengths and power
ranges you need. And you will like
the measurement speed which can
come down to 100 µs. A broad variety
of advanced interfaces and adapters
makes it easy to connect your test
devices.
To help you work efficiently and quick-
ly and to increase your throughput
and yield, the input ports are desi-
gned to eliminate multiple reflections
– the cause of many measurement
errors.
The Agilent 8163A Lightwave
Multimeter allows engineers to
count on the accuracy of their
measurements more than ever.
