The Agilent 86120C—At a Glance
The Agilent 86120C Multi- Wavelength Meter measures the wavelength
and optical power of laser light in the 1270–1650 wavelength range.
Because the Agilent 86120C simultaneously measures multiple laser
lines, you can characterize wavelength- division- multiplexed (WDM)
systems and the multiple lines of Fabry- Perot lasers.
For Option 022 instruments, the front-panel OPTICAL INPUT connector is an
C A U T I O N
angled physical contact interface.
Characterize laser lines easily
With the Agilent 86120C you can quickly and easily measure any of
the following parameters:
• Measure up to 200 laser lines simultaneously
• Wavelengths and powers
• Average wavelength
• Total optical power
• Laser line separation
• Laser drift (wavelength and power)
• Signal- to- noise ratios
• Fabry- Perot lasers
NOTE
The front-panel OPTICAL INPUT connector uses a single-mode input fiber.
