FTB-5500B

Typical Applications

The FTB-5500B Polarization Mode Dispersion Analyzer is a complete PMD
analyzer system. It measures PMD using the internationally recognized
interferometric method. The Polarization Mode Dispersion Analyzer
averages PMD over the complete source wavelength range without any
filtering, leaving all the source power for PMD measurement. The full
dynamic range remains available to test long fiber spans. It can withstand
small vibrations thanks to its fast measurement time and does not require
any special environmental setup to perform reliable measurements.

Typical Applications

The Polarization Mode Dispersion Analyzer can also analyze a signal
transmitted through erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) providing a
total PMD value for the entire link.
