Keysight (Agilent) 8157A Variable Optical Attenuator

The HP 8157A is a high performance single-mode attenuator for the 1200-1650nm wavelength range. Its excellent linearity, very high return loss and polarization insensitivity make it the ideal attenuator for bit error rate tests on fast optical systems. Specifications. Wavelength Range: 1200-1650 nm. Applicable Fiber Type: single-mode fiber. Attenuation Range (excluding insertion loss: 60.00 dB. Linearity: ±0.2dB (typical ± 0.05dB). Return loss (incl. Diamond HMS-10/HP connectors and terminated fiber-end): >33dB. Display range: 0.00 to 64.00 dB. Display resolution: 0.01 dB (min. step size). Repeatability (of attenuation after a max. of 6 matings with same connector): single-mode (9/um): <0.2dB. Options. Opt. 011: Diamond HMS-10/ HP connector interfaces. Opt. 012: FC/ PC connector interfaces. Opt. 013: DIN 47256 connector interfaces. Opt. 014: ST connector interfaces.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the Keysight (Agilent) 8157A. 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.
