Optical Power Meter Head Special Calibration

Keysight offers a number of optical power measurement solutions that use the 816xA/B family of optical mainframes as host to a number of modules. The most versatile and accurate optical power meters are interface modules coupled with optical heads. The calibration of Keysight's 81623B, 81624B, and 81626B optical heads is described in Production, as is the special calibration that can be ordered. This special calibration (a calibration certificate is attached to the module) is carried out by the factory's Metrology Laboratory in Deutschy. Special recalibrations can be performed for those optical heads that were originally ordered with the special calibration.
