AGILENT 8153A REPLACEMENT / ALTERNATE

Custom-Cal has a solution to replace your AGILENT 8153A. We specialize in quick turnaround times and we can handle expedited deliveries upon request.

The GM8001B is comparable in function to the Agilent Lightwave Multimeter Mainframe. Although it will not accommodate the Agilent plug-ins, comparable plug-in modules are also available.  The end result is a lightwave multimeter system at a lower cost with similar features and flexibility.

UC INSTRUMENTS GM8001B 2 Slot Lightwave Multimeter Mainframe

AGILENT 8153A   Description / Specification: UC INSTRUMENTS GM8001B   Description / Specification:     Spec Sheet 
The HP 8153A Lightwave Multimeter Mainframe offers two slots for plug-in modules. Since modules can be combined in any configuration, the instrument can be used as a 1/2 channel power meter, a 1/2 channel light source, a loss test set, or even as a return loss test set. Four different power sensor modules, with different sensitivities from -70 dBm down to -110 dBm, cover the 450 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. Each is individually calibrated over its entire wavelength range and is traceable to NIST and PTB for precise optical power measurements. The excellent linearity and high stability of the source modules provides the basis for precise determination of optical insertion loss for both single-mode and multimode components. The external power sensors (optical heads) cover the power range from +27 to -90 dBm. They are especially suitable for obtaining the highest requirements in absolute accuracy, e.g. for calibration services, and also for open beam measurements. The source modules offer very good short-term and long-term stability. The high output power can be internally attenuated by up to 6 dB. All sources are able to output CW or pulse-modulated light (internal modulation at 270 Hz, 1 kHz, or 2 kHz). Display Ranges. Power: +30 to -110 dBm or 1000.00 mW to 0.01 pW. Calibration Factor: ± 200.000 dB. Reference: ± 200.000 dBm/dB. Data Acquisition. Memory: 500 measurement results/channel (acquisition time >= 20 ms/data point). Selectable Data Averaging Time: 20 ms to 60 min. Selectable Total Data Acquisition Time: 20 ms to 99:59:59 h.


The UC Instruments GM8001B Lightwave Multimeter Display with Two Channels, can be configured as the following. Single or dual channel optical power meter with ranges from +23 to -80 dBm. Single or dual channel tunable laser source, 1525.00 nm to 1610.00 nm. Single or dual channel tunable filter, 1528.00 nm to 1603.00 nm. Optical attenuator, 0 to 60 dB. Single or dual channel optical spectrum analyzer, 1529.00 nm to 1602.00 nm. Optical channel monitor, 1529.00 nm to 1602.00 nm. Loss test set. Return loss test set. Tunable laser source full range sweep with 1 pm minimum step. Capable of being configurated as a passive optical component in a testing system to record testing spectrum curve.
