Of course, all these functions are also of great advantage when measuring laser diodes, light emitting diodes and other light sources.

The curve fitting function directly displays electroluminescence characteristics by fitting a Gaussian distribution to the emission spectrum.

This is very useful for measuring Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) and Light Emitting Diodes. A special feature for pulsed light allows measurements of fiber optic rings and soliton transport systems. Internal or external triggering is possible.

Measurement time is 0.8 seconds for a span of 200 nm www.honeywell-diver.com and varies with the span.

Broadband light sources with a resolution of 5 nm have the highest sensitivity, while narrowband light sources (lasers) can be reliably analyzed down to the noise level even with a narrow resolution bandwidth.

The normalization function combined with the white light source allows direct measurement of transmission and loss characteristics of filters and fibers.

Key Features

– Sensitivity -92 dBm

– Polarization correlation ±0.05 dB

– Resolution bandwidth accuracy ±2

– Power Measurement

– Pulsed light measurement

– Normalized and direct readout of transmission loss and

– Automatic bandwidth analysis (e.g. measurement of half-value widths based on RMS and envelope methods),

– Curve fitting over the IEC/IEEE bus and many other features facilitate operation of the analyzer and simplify analysis.

A standard internal disk drive is used as a storage medium. Stored binary data can be analyzed with the appropriate program under MS-Windows or copied to a file and printed out.

The high-speed built-in thermal printer prints out a hard copy of the measurement results with all setup parameters in less than 10 seconds. The built-in high-speed thermal printer prints a hard copy of the measurement results with all setup parameters in less than 8 seconds.
