Section 6 Calibration and Testing Performance This section describes how to calibrate the level and wavelength measurement accuracy, and execute the performance test of the MS9710B Optical Spectrum Analyzer. Calibrating Level ..........Calibrating Wavelength ........6.2.1 Calibration using Internal Wavelength Reference ..
Page 208: Calibrating Level
Connect the output of a single-mode oscillation light source (calibrated with an optical power meter to a level of –30 dBm minimum) to the input of the MS9710B. A suitable light source would be a 1.3 µm or 1.55 µm DFB-LD. Calibration cannot be performed accurately with a multimode light source such as an FP-LD.
Page 209 (e) Press the key to select the Cal card, then press the Level Offset key and adjust the Peak Level value to -23 dBm using the Knob. This adjustment value (offset) is saved even when the power of MS9710B is switched off.
Page 210: Calibrating Wavelength
To adjust the optical axis, connect the output of a single-mode oscillation light source with a level of –30 dBm minimum to the optical input connec- tor of the MS9710B. A suitable light source would be a 1.3 µm or 1.55 µm DFB-LD. Calibration cannot be performed accurately with a multimode light source such as an FP-LD.

Page 245: Appendix E Checking Actual Display Resolution
Appendix E Checking Actual Display Resolution This section explains improvement of display Resolution accuracy. Upgrading from the MS9710A to the MS9710B improves the accuracy of the actual display resolution in the 1530 to 1570 nm band. In addition, the defini- tion of Resolution has been changed from the half width value to the ratio be- tween the peak level and integrated power.
Page 246 Resolutions. Half width of the spectrum New method In the MS9710B, MS9710B, the actual Resolution is found from the following equation: where ∫ P (λ) dλ is the integrated spectrum of a single-mode oscillation light source, and P is peak level.
Page 247 Appendix F Optical Fiber Cord The MS9710B uses a 10/125 µm optical fiber cord at the optical input. At mea- surement, if the core eccentricity of the optical fiber cord connector is large, there is a possibility that the specified level accuracy may not be met. Anritsu uses a specified master cord with an external diameter accuracy of better than 0.5 µm, a core eccentricity of less than 0.2 µm and a connection loss of less than...
