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.
