OP250

 

Stabilized Light source

 
 

The OP250 is a configurable stabilized light source with a variety of Lasers and LEDs. Available in a single port or dual port configuration, selectable wavelengths, and various power levels and industry standard optical interfaces this instrument offers all the features and functions necessary for the development, testing and inspecting of optical components and cables.

The standalone, internally powered module also connects to the USB port of any computer. OptoTest provides for drivers and applications integrating it with the OP500 series of power meters. This allows the user to perform common measurement tasks such as EXCEL compatible data logging or time-stamped stability measurements.

 
       
 

Stabilized Laser or LED Source

Depending on the type of source the one hour stability is better than +/-0.02dB. All LED sources and if necessary the laser sources are temperature compensated.

Single Port Laser Source

Available wavelength are between 630nm and 1625nm at power levels up to 5mW.

Dual Port Laser Source

Configured for telecom testing at 1310nm and 1550nm., other combinations are available per customer request.

Single Port and Dual Port LED Source

Selectable wavelength are between 630nm and 1550nm with power levels up to 1mW. Special Launch Conditions such as under fill and overfill can be ordered.

Internal Chargeable Battery

The internal battery is based on latest Lithium Ion technology for longer lasting operation.

USB Powered, Plug & Play

Besides the internal charge- able battery or external power supply the OP250 is a bus powered, low power (<100mA) USB device. In addition to powering the source the battery is charged through the USB bus. With the supplied drivers the source output power and modulation can be controlled remotely.

Integrated ambient temperature tracking

If connected to the USB bus the OP250 measures the ambient temperature (ºC or ºF) within -10ºC ...+55ºC at a resolution of 0.1ºC. This feature eliminates the need for an external temperature sensor during long-term stability testing.
