ADVANTEST Q8163 Polarization Scrambler

The Advantest Q8163 Optical Polarization Scrambler uses Advantest’s original polarization-variance method. By adopting the high-speed optical-fiber polarization scramble unit, Q8163 achieves: High-speed polarization variance. Low fluctuation of insertion loss. Low insertion loss. High reliability. Fast and ensured measurement of polarization dependent loss (PDL) can be made by using it with Q8221 series optical power meter, which offers low polarization dependency, high-speed measurement and the LD light source. Specifications. Wavelength range: 1.29 to 1.58 µm. Insertion loss: <= 3 dB or less. Insertion-loss fluctuation: ± 0.005 dB or less. Return loss: >= 43 dB (47 dB typical). Polarization-variance speed (two modes available): >= 500 rotations of the Poincaré sphere per second (high speed), >= 10 rotations of the Poincaré sphere per second (low speed). Input/output connector: FC-SPC. External control: GPIB equipped as standard.

Pricing does include NIST traceable calibration and issue of a calibration certificate and calibration label. Pricing may vary slightly due to volume and location of laboratory supporting calibration. Volume pricing may apply. On-site fees may apply depending on logistics, location and volume of work to be completed during the visit.

Coherence Time
Average time for the wave train to lose its phase realtionships

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)
A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by adding a periodic variation to the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a wavelength specific dielectric mirror. A fiber Bragg grating can therefore be used as an inline optical filter to block certain wavelengths, or as a wavelength-specific reflector.

Modulation
Modulation is the process by which the characteristic of one wave (the carrier) is modified by another. Adding information into pulses of light.

Power Linearity
When changing the power level and measuring the differences (in dB) between actual and displayed power levels, the power linearity is ± half the span (in dB) between the maximum and the minimum value of all differences.

Stability
Stability is the extent to which a specified property, characteristic, or parameter of a substance, device, or apparatus, such as a fiber optic transmission system, remains fixed with the passage of time or with varying environmental conditions.
