Measuring a Filter Response

This procedure will show you how to display the response of the filter using

the normalized trace.For more information, refer to "Normalizing the Mea-

surement" on page 3-11

This procedure assumes that you have normalized your test setup.

1 Press Wavelength and enter the desired range to characterize your device.

2 Disconnect the fiber from Receiver Input 1 and connect it to the input of the

filter. Connect another fiber between Receiver Input 1 and the output of the

3 Press Single Sweep to display the response of the filter.

Because the trace has been normalized, the losses associated with the setup

have been compensated out of the measured response. Therefore, you are

seeing the response of the filter only.
