The 81628C High-Power Optical Head features an integrated sphere that enables it to handle power levels up to +40 dBm (with heat sink), across 800 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. It provides the highest accuracy at high power within the family.

HIGHLIGHTS

The integrating sphere of the new 81628C high-power optical head accepts the input of signals from single mode fiber with NA ≤ 0.2, and MM fiber with NA ≤ 0.4, as well as from parallel beams with up to 3 mm diameter. If equipped with the included heat sink, optical power levels up to +40 dBm can be measured.

The form factor allows 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.

N7749C interface for two or four optical power heads

  • Controls the remote heads
  • Sample averaging times ranging from 100 µs to 10 s for all heads
  • Readout over LAN and USB interfaces with built-in web-browser GUI
  • SCPI command set common to Keysight optical power meters
  • Power values logged with dual-1M sample buffers for each head, to sample continuously with internal or external triggering
  • Uninterrupted simultaneous measurement and readout minimize overhead time for repetitive measurements
  • Family-wide, common trigger concept

Analog output port perfect for automated alignment

  • Direct feedback for optimization processes like fiber alignment with analog voltage outputs, at the remote head itself and from the N7749C front panel
  • Either linear proportional to the optical signal power or logarithmic over decades of power levels.
