Keysight (Agilent) 8509C Lightwave Polarization Analyzer

The Agilent 8509C lightwave polarization analyzer offers high-speed, calibrated polarization measurements of both optical signals and components. Measurement capabilities include; Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD), Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL), Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) launch alignment (polarization cross talk), Degree of Polarization (DOP), Stokes Parameters and Average power measurements.

Wide wavelength range: 1280-1640 nm S, C and L band coverage.
Polarization mode dispersion accuracy: ±0.05ps (50fs).
Polarization mode dispersion measurement range: 0.01 ps (10 fs) to 400 ps, measure very low PMD using the highly accurate Jones Matrix Eigenanalysis (JME) method. PMD measurements can also be made using the Fixed Analyzer (or wavelength scanning) method.
Wide dynamic range: +10 dBm to -55 dBm.
High-speed measurements: Polarization measurement rate of > 3500 points per second.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the Keysight (Agilent) 8509C. 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.


Related Optical Terms and Definitions. For a complete list go to our  Terms and Definitions Page.

Absolute Wavelength Accuracy
Absolute Wavelength Accuracy is the maximum difference between the actual wavelength and the displayed wavelength of the Optical Source. Wavelength is defined as wavelength in vacuum.

Decibel (dB)
A unit of measurement of optical power which indicates relative power. A -10 dB means a reduction in power by 10 times, -20 dB means another 10 times or 100 times overall, -30 means another 10 times or 1000 times overall and so on.

Nanometer (nm)
A unit of measure used to measure wavelength of light, meaning one one-billionth of a meter

Relative Intensity Noise (RIN)
Relative intensity noise (RIN), describes the instability in the power level of a laser. The noise term is important to describe lasers used in fiber-optic communication and LIDAR remote sensing. It is the square of the (spectrally resolved) RMS optical power amplitude divided by the measurement bandwidth and the square of the average optical power, expressed in dB/Hz.

Total Return loss
In an optical fiber, the loss that takes place at any discontinuity of refractive index, especially at an air-glass interface such as a fiber endface, at which a fraction of the optical signal is reflected back toward the source. RL = - 10log10 (Preflected/Preference)
