Page 7: Introduction And Applications
INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS These instruments incorporate traceable Power Meter, multi A convenient menu-driven interface guides the user through wavelength Light Source and Optical Return Loss Meter (KI7340C operational sequences with hidden keypad access to advanced Series only) in one unit and are the industry fastest bi-directional loss functions. - Page 8 INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS Two Way Loss + ORL testing features Various detector options include Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs), Silicon (Si) and various attenuated versions. Two Way + ORL loss at both ends can be tested at up to 4 wavelengths in one operation, providing major operational savings. The InGaAs detector is the most common detector for general use.

ACCURACY CONSIDERATIONS Keep optical connectors clean and in good condition. Light Source To reduce the effect of polarisation changes, the fiber system should Light source power may drift. When you have finished a test, go back be neat, coiled and physically stable. to the start position to check if the light source power is still within In multimode systems, modal noise and general uncertainty are much acceptable limits. - Page 33 ACCURACY CONSIDERATIONS DWDM Loss and Power Measurements At 1625 nm, the fiber attenuation is actually very sensitive to wavelength, since the silica infra-red absorption zone is reached. So The DWDM bands are typically within 1525 ~ 1610 nm band. For this the wavelength tolerance of this particular laser is a major issue, application, an InGaAs detector calibrated at 1550 nm gives good especially since many older source instruments have a tolerance of 30...
