EXFO FTB-5500B Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) Analyzer Module

The EXFO FTB-5500B PMD Analyzer module is designed for ultra-long-haul and 40 Gbit/s applications. It provides you with the speed, accuracy and high performance you need to ensure high-quality network services. Particularly important in multichannel transmission and as rates reach 40 Gbit/s and higher, second-order PMD is derived from the measured PMD value. EXFO’s software provides second-order PMD delay and coefficient values for telecom fibers. These values allow you to characterize fibers and cables more precisely than simple PMD and better control the transmission quality of high-speed systems. The Exfo FTB-5500B has unique technology that allows for both the auto-correlation and cross-correlation to be known. Therefore, any spectral shape of source can be used. The auto-correlation peak is thus removed, and higher accuracy and resolution are obtained. PMD of 0 ps can be measured. In addition, a signal transmitted through EDFAs can be analyzed for total link PMD. Specifications. Wavelength range: 1260 to 1675 nm (O to U band). Measurement range: 0 to 115 ps. Sensitivity (Typical, for C band. May be increased with averaging. With the FLS-5800, the typical dynamic range is 47 dB.): –45 dBm. Measuring time: 4.5 s (for any PMD value). Absolute uncertainty (strong mode coupling), (ps) ± (0.020 + 2 % of PMD). Allows measurement through EDFA Yes (above 120 EDFAs).

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the EXFO FTB-5500B. 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.

Chromatic Dispersion
Chromatic Dispersion is a broadening of the input signal as it travels down the length of the fiber. Chromatic Dispersion results from a variation in propagation delay with wavelength, and is affected by fiber materials and dimensions.

Detector
A Detector is a signal conversion device that converts power from one form to another, such as from optical power to electrical power

Jitter
Jitter in technical terms is the deviation in or displacement of some aspect of the pulses in a high-frequency digital signal. Jitter is the time variation of a periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. Jitter may be observed in characteristics such as the frequency of successive pulses, the signal amplitude, or phase of periodic signals. Jitter is a significant, and usually undesired, factor in the design of almost all communications links (e.g., USB, PCI-e, SATA, OC-48). In clock recovery applications it is called timing jitter.

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)
Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is a form of modal dispersion where two different polarizations of light in a waveguide, which normally travel at the same speed, travel at different speeds due to random imperfections and asymmetries, causing random spreading of optical pulses. It is he difference between the maximum and minimum values of loss typically measured in ps/km^1/2.
