Keysight (Agilent) 8504A Lightwave Precision Reflectometer

The HP 8504A precision reflectometer is an optical instrument for making precise return-loss and back reflection measurements using sm 9/125 micrometer fiber. Measurements are applicable to all typical lightwave components such as opto-isolators, microphotonic assemblies, couplers, amps and connectors. The 8504A contains two internal wavelength sources (1300 and 1550 nm), both with 60 nm of spectral width. The peak wavelength for the 1300 nm source can occur at +/- 30 nm to source wavelength. The 1550 nm source peak wavelength occurs at 1550 +/- nm. Return loss measurements can be made with both source wavelengths. The power level range for the 1300 nm source is 0 to 75 dB, and 0 to 65 dB for the 1550 nm source. Return loss measurements can be made to an accuracy of +/- 2 dB, with a repeatability of +/- 1 dB. The 8504A is able to resolve closely-spaced reflections down to 17 micrometers for wavelengths of 1300 nm, and 34 micrometer for wavelengths of 1550 nm. With a measurement distance of 1 to 10 mm, two-event spacial accuracy is +/- 2% of span, and +/- 0.5% of span for distances of 10 to 400 mm. The 8504A offers low levels of spurios responses, with a spurious level at -40 dBc in high sensetivity, and -60 dBc in low sensetivity. Sweep speed is 17.9 mm/s or 0.056 s/mm. The full measurement span is 1 to 400 mm, which can be extended by using supplied fiber extension links. There are seven options available for order with the unit. These include 210 and 220, the ability to remove the internal 1300 and 1550 nm sources respectively. There are five available connector types for both front panel connectors and extension cables: opt 011 (HMS-10/HP), 012 (FC/PC), 013 (DIN 47256), 014 (ST), and 015 (Biconic).

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the Keysight (Agilent) 8504A. 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.
