1 Introducing the PM-1600
High-Speed Power Meter
The PM-1600 High-Speed Power meter provides all the performance you
need to increase your testing efficiency. With its high sampling rate and fast
stabilization time, the PM-1600 is ideal for system monitoring and
high-density WDM component characterization and assembly.
The PM-1600 is available with one or two detectors. Each power channel
(detector) is independently controlled (except for the acquisition
frequency) and can achieve a sampling rate of up to 4096 Hz.
Power transitions of up to 95 dB will stabilize within 15 ms. Faster
stabilization time will be achieved with reduced dynamic range.
Stabilization within 1 ms is possible when the gain of the detector
amplification stage is manually locked on a specific scale (“Manual
Range”).
Power measurement acquisitions can be electrically synchronized with the
external trigger input or optically synchronized by programming a power
level threshold.
In addition to the standard, 1 mm InGaAs detector, the PM-1600 power
meter series offers a new detector option, the PM-1600W wide-area
detector. This power meter, equipped with a 3 mm diameter InGaAs
detector, offers excellent repeatability for in-process testing of components
before they are connectorized. Also, this large detector option improves the
stabilization time of the module over the complete dynamic range.
Particularly user-friendly with its state-of-the-art technology display, the
PM-1600 features absolute power (in watts or dBm) and relative power
(dB or W/W) measurements, manual data storage, and programmed data
acquisition. The PM-1600 is particularly suited for the most demanding
laboratory, qualification, and manufacturing applications. It can be
remotely controlled through a GPIB or RS-232 interface.
