Introducing the PM-1100

Optical Power Meter

The PM-1100 Optical Power Meter provides accurate power measurements
over a wide dynamic range with high resolution and excellent linearity. It is
particularly suitable for automated measurements.

The built-in memory lets you store up to 20 preselected wavelengths of the
sources under test. The wavelength value is used both to correct power
readings and tag stored results.

As many as 10 different user setups may be programmed, each allowing up
to 20 wavelengths. You can manually store 512 readings (power level,
wavelength, and offset), or 1024 readings using a programmed sequence.

Three models are available. The PM-1101 uses a Si detector for the 450 nm
to 1100 nm range, and the PM-1103 uses an InGaAs detector to cover
800 nm to 1700 nm. Both offer a dynamic range of +9 dBm to -100 dBm.
The high-power PM-1102X uses a selected germanium detector to cover
750 nm to 1700 nm from +25 dBm to -75 dBm.

The Optical Power Meter’s large display can be easily read from a distance
or in poor ambient lighting conditions.

Standard GPIB and RS-232 interfaces permit the Optical Power Meter to be
controlled remotely from any compatible PC or test station. Optional rack
mount is available.
