Keysight (Agilent) 8146A Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Mainframe

The HP 8146A is a high-performance optical time domain reflectometer mainframe for installation, field maintenance, and bench applications. Plug-in modules are available for all common wavelengths and single and multimode fibers. Each module can be used as a high-resolution or long-range module (switch-selectable). In less than 7 seconds the HP 8146A will automatically characterize the link with up to 100 reflective and non-reflective events. For documentation purposes, the HP 8146A features an optional built-in printer, 3 1/2-inch floppy disk drive or a memory card reader. Horizontal Parameters; Start km: 0 km to 100 km. Span: 1 km to 200 km. Readout Resolution: 0.1 m, 0.0001 mi, 0.1 ft. Minimum Sample Spacing: 0.5 m. Distance Accuracy: ± 1.5 m for 850 nm. Refractive Index: 1.4000 to 1.6000. Length Unit: km, kft, or miles selectable. Measurement Points: 2000 to 4000, depending on selected measurement span and refractive index. Vertical Parameters; Vertical Scale: 0.20 to 5 dB/div. Readout Resolution : 0.001 dB. Linearity: 0.05 dB/dB typical. Reflectance Range: 20 dB to 60 dB. Reflectance Accuracy: ± 2 dB for reflectances between 20 dB and 40 dB (return loss mode, short-range, 100 ns pulse width). CW Mode (single-mode module); Output Power: > -5 dBm. Stability (15 min, T = constant): ± 0.01 dB after 10 min warmup. Pulse Width: selectable, 5/30/100/300 ns, 1/2/3/10 us, depending on module and distance range mode. Module Wavelengths: 850 ± 10 nm, 1300 ± 10 nm, 1310 ± 20 nm, 1550 ± 20 nm. Options. Opt 001, dc Input. Opt 002, Thermal Printer. Opt 003, 3 1/2-in Floppy Disk Drive. Opt 004, Memory Card Reader.

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 Length
Average distance over which superimposed waves lose their phase relationships

Linewidth
Linewidth is the width of a spectral line in terms of wavelength, wave number and frequency.

Power Flatness Versus Wavelength
When changing the wavelength at constant power setting and recording the differences between actual and displayed power levels, the power flatness is ± half the span (in dB) between the maximum and the minimum of the measured power levels.

Spectral Width
Spectral Width is the wavelength interval over which the magnitude of all spectral components is equal to or greater than a specified fraction of the magnitude of the component having the maximum value. In optical communications applications, the usual method of specifying spectral width is the full width at half maximum. This is the same convention used in bandwidth, defined as the frequency range where power drops by less than half (at most -3 dB).

Telecom Bands
Optical fiber communications typically operate in a wavelength region corresponding to one of the following Bands. O Band (original): 1260–1360 nm. E Band (extended): 1360–1460 nm. S Band (short wavelengths): 1460–1530 nm. C Band (conventional): 1530–1565 nm. L Band (long wavelengths): 1565–1625 nm. U Band (ultralong wavelengths): 1625–1675 nm
