Product Description:
The 86038B Photon Dispersion & Loss analyzer combines speed and precision for comprehensive testing of optical fibers and components, making it an ideal instrument for development and manufacture. The measurements are based on the industry-standard modulated phase shift method (MPS), and the modular implementation allows customization according to test requirements. Simply connect a single device and measure spectral group delay (GD) and dispersion (CD), differential group delay (DGD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD), insertion loss or gain (IL) and polarization dependent loss (PDL) at the touch of a button. In addition, it can make very accurate fiber length measurements. Advanced matrix analysis also provides second-order PMD.
The 86038B offers a range of wavelength options, building on the Keysight 81600B tunable laser option, to provide specified measurements in the unprecedented 1260-1640nm wavelength range and up to 200nm using a single laser. All parameters can be obtained by fast scanning wavelength measurements.
Features:
Comprehensive characterization of dispersion and loss using industry-standard MPS methods, depending on wavelength and polarization
The spectra GD, CD, DGD, PMD, IL, PDL were determined, and second-order PMD, GD ripple, zero dispersion wavelength and CD slope were analyzed, and the fiber or device length was accurately determined
Fast sweep wavelength measurement for all parameters
The widest available wavelength range, with options covering 1260-1640nm and scanning ranges up to 200nm
Integrated support for optional modular switches for multi-port testing
