AGILENT 8163A   Description / Specification: UC INSTRUMENTS GM8001B   Description / Specification:     Spec Sheet 
The Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter Mainframe is a basic measurement tool in the fiberoptic industry. It ensures accurate and fast results even for the most demanding measurements on optical components and systems. Its modular format makes it flexible enough to meet changing measurement needs whether measuring optical power, insertion loss or return loss for single- or multimode components. Four different power sensor modules and three external power sensors (optical heads) cover the important wavelengths and power ranges. Thanks to the excellent accuracy, high linearity and low polarization dependent loss (PDL) best measurement results are ensured. The measurement speed can come down to 200 µs, which further optimizes the power measurements. The source modules are stabilized for short and long term applications and are also not sensitive to backreflections. There is a choice of single and dual wavelength source modules, available with an output power of up to 13 dBm. The output power can be attenuated by up to 6 dB. All source modules are able to output CW or pulse-modulated light (internal modulation 270Hz to 10kHz). The compact tunable laser module offers continuous, mode-hop free tuning, and is set quickly and easily to the target wavelengths and power levels, even for the most complex configurations, just by using the vernier keys. The compact tunable laser modules are available with both standard single-mode fiber and Panda-type PMF. The return loss modules offer high precision and high accuracy for the best possible measurements. Display resolution: 0.0001 dB/dBm, 0.01 pW to 10pW (depending on power range) , up to 6 1/2 digits (user definable). Data acquisition memory: 4000 measurement results 1 channel (remote 12000). Trigger: True synchronous on all channels. Number of modules: Two. Display: Graphical display 190 x 300 points visible, monochrome.


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.
