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.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the ADVANTEST Q8163. Price does not in most cases include measurement performance data. 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.

Bit Error Ratio (BER)
Bit Error Ratio (BER) is the ratio of errors caused by the number of bits in a data stream that have been altered due to noise, interference, distoriton or bit synchronization errors.

Flatness
Variation of insertion loss on the passband of an optical device.

Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL)
Polarization Dependent Loss is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of loss due to the variation of the polarization states of light propagating through a device. PDL is expressed in decibels. Calculated by; PDL = 10 log10 (Ep/Es), where EP and ES are the measured diffraction efficiencies for P- and S-plane polarized incident light, respectively.

Return Loss (RL)
Return Loss (RL) is the ratio of the incident power to the reflected power expressed in dB. RL = 10log (Pin/Pback)

Wavelength Resolution
Wavelength Resolution is the smallest possible displayed wavelength increment/decrement.
