Keysight (Agilent) 8163A Lightwave Multimeter Mainframe

The Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter Mainframe is a basic measurement tool in the fiberoptic industry. It ensures accurate and fast results even for the most demanding measurements on optical components and systems. Its modular format makes it flexible enough to meet changing measurement needs whether measuring optical power, insertion loss or return loss for single- or multimode components. Four different power sensor modules and three external power sensors (optical heads) cover the important wavelengths and power ranges. Thanks to the excellent accuracy, high linearity and low polarization dependent loss (PDL) best measurement results are ensured. The measurement speed can come down to 200 µs, which further optimizes the power measurements. The source modules are stabilized for short and long term applications and are also not sensitive to backreflections. There is a choice of single and dual wavelength source modules, available with an output power of up to 13 dBm. The output power can be attenuated by up to 6 dB. All source modules are able to output CW or pulse-modulated light (internal modulation 270Hz to 10kHz). The compact tunable laser module offers continuous, mode-hop free tuning, and is set quickly and easily to the target wavelengths and power levels, even for the most complex configurations, just by using the vernier keys. The compact tunable laser modules are available with both standard single-mode fiber and Panda-type PMF. The return loss modules offer high precision and high accuracy for the best possible measurements. Display resolution: 0.0001 dB/dBm, 0.01 pW to 10pW (depending on power range) , up to 6 1/2 digits (user definable). Data acquisition memory: 4000 measurement results 1 channel (remote 12000). Trigger: True synchronous on all channels. Number of modules: Two. Display: Graphical display 190 x 300 points visible, monochrome.

Amplified Spontaneous Emission Source (ASE)
ASE, a process where spontaneously emitted radiation (luminescence) is amplified. In lasers and particularly in high-gain erbium-doped amplifiers, amplified spontaneous emission is usually an unwanted effect. It tends to limit the gain achievable in a single stage of a fiber optic amplifier to the order of 40–50 dB.

Dynamic Range
In a transmission system, the ratio of the overload level to the noise level of the system, usually expressed in dB. Ratio of the highest to lowest detectable signal of a system, expressed in dB.

Optical Power
Optical Power is usually measured in "dBm", or decibels referenced to one miliwatt of power. while loss is a relative reading, optical power is an absolute measurement, referenced to standards. You measure absolute power to test transmitters or receivers and relative power to test loss.

Relative Wavelength Accuracy
When randomly changing the wavelength and measuring the differences between the actual and displayed wavelengths, the relative wavelength accuracy is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value of all differences.

Wavelength
Wavelength is a term for the color of light, usually expressed in nanometers (nm) or microns (m). In Fiber Optics the wavelenghts mostly used are in the infrared region where the light is invisible to the human eye.
