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.

N7742C and N7743C Optical Power Meters

With the new N7742C and N7743C, Keysight extends the functionality of the popular N774-C optical power meter family. These new instruments offer models for wider wavelength range, higher power levels, analog feedback and finer granularity of port count, while keeping the speed and logging performance of the well established N7744C and N7745C.

N7747A and N7748A High-Sensitivity Optical Power Meter

The 2-port N7747A and 4-port N7748A bring the high performance of the 81634B to the compact N77 platform, offering 100X more memory, faster data transfer rates, and continuous logging.

8162-C and N7749C Optical Power Meter Heads and Optical Head Interface

The new 8162-C series optical power heads provide a 5 mm detector area or an integrating sphere and allow flexible placement of the remote optical power meter, which is then connected to the N7749C. A wide choice of adapters allows input from popular fiber connector types, bare fibers or open beams. The magnetic D-shaped adapters allow rapid removal and replacement without twisting attached fibers
