OP508

 

Fiber Optic Power Sensor

The OP508 was specifically designed for applications where cost-effective solutions for measuring, monitoring and logging of insertion loss or power fluctuations are needed. The OP508 is a small (4"x2"x1.25") desk-friendly module designed such that minimal movement and bending of the reference and test cables is necessary. This results in stable, accurate and repeatable measurements.

Model OP508-IN-FC
InGaAs Detector with fixed FC/PC Interface
     

High precision fiber optic power measurements

  • Extended optical power measurement range, depending on the selected detector +10dBm..-80dBm for InGaAs detector, +6dBm..-45dBm for Silicon detector.

  • Wide wavelength range 840nm ...1700nm (InGaAs) or
    580nm ... 1080nm (Silicon)

  • Tight linearity specifications: +/- 0.02dB

  • Great measurement resolution of 0.001 dB

fixed FC, SC or ST interface

Integrated ambient temperature tracking

  • The OP508 measures the ambient temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit over the entire temperature range of the instrument with a 0.1ºC resolution. This unique feature eliminate the need for external temperature tracking during long term stability measurements.

USB Data and Power Interface

  • The OP508 is powered by the USB bus, it connects to any computer with a USB 1.1 or later interface.

  • User friendly applications allow the user to perform common measurement tasks such as EXCEL logging of power levels or time stamped stability measurements including the tracking of ambient temperature.
