Agilent Technologies, Inc. 83438A Erbium ASE Source
Feature:
Wavelength: 1530nm
Power: 5.5dBm
In conjunction with an optical spectrum analyzer, the incoherent light source HP 83438A allows you to measure insertion
loss, crosstalk, bandwidth, polarization dependencies,and other parameters of passive optical components versus
wavelength.
The HP 83438A provides more than +6 dBm in the 1550 nm window, allowing you to characterize advanced components
such as isolators, circulators, add/drop multiplexers, gratings, or demultiplexers for dense wavelength-division multiplexing
(DWDM) systems.
High power density allows high measurement range
Single-mode fiber output, angled connector option
Unpolarized (standard) or fully polarized (optional) to characterize the polarization dependence versus wavelength of
