Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL)
[k]
Uncertainty
Gain/Loss Uncertainty
[j] DGD/PDL Swept Mode using 6 polarization states, excluding connectors.
[k] Loss from 0 dB to 4 dB; Opt.400 specified over the specified range of the tunable laser option, but limited to within 1450-
1625 nm.
[l] Loss from 0 dB to 40 dB.
Dynamic range
System dynamic range
[m] For TLS power level 0 dBm. For higher power levels, the dynamic range increases correspondingly.
