The OP508 is a small (4”x2”x1.25”) desk-friendly module designed such that minimal movement and bending of the reference and test cables is necessary. This results in stable, accurate and repeatable measurements. The OP508 is offered with various detectors and connector styles with a fixed optical interface covering a wide variety of applications. The USB powered module connects directly to the computer. OptoTest provides for drivers and applications allowing the user to perform common measurement tasks such as EXCEL data logging or time-stamped stability measurements. Fiber Optic Power Meter Module High precision fiber optic power measurement • Extended optical power measurement range, depending on the selected detector* +6dBm..-65dBm for InGaAs detector, +6dBm..-60dBm for Silicon detector. • Wide wavelength range 830nm ... 1700nm (InGaAs), 580nm ... 1080nm (Si). • Great measurement resolution of 0.001 dB • Tight linearity specifications: +/- 0.05d *detectors other than the fixed InGaAs or Si are available, for example 1mm & 3mm InGaAs, 3mm Si NEW Features NE W Overview Model OP508 Fiber Optic Power Meter USB powered, plug and play data acquisition The OP508 is a usb powered, lower power (<100mA) USB device. With the supplied drivers data can be transferred to and from the module. The power meter sampling is up to 10 samples/sec. The OP508 measures the ambient temperature (C¢ª or F¢ª ) within -10C¢ª ...+55C¢ª at a resolution of 0.1C¢ª. This feature eliminates the need for an external temperature sensors during long-term stability testing. NEW Applications Stability- and Long-term Loss Characteristic of Optical Components Bundled with the OPL5 Optical Power Meter Software the OP508 is a cost-effective system for measuring stability of passive fiber optic components and optical sources. For high precision, long term stability tests monitoring the ambient temperature is a necessity, minor fluctuations can influence the outcome of the measurements. The OP508 measures and reports ambient temperature. There is practically no need for an additional setup to monitor temperature.
