Agilent Technologies, Inc. 11982A Amplified Lightwave Converter
Feature:
Type: Converters
Wavelength: 1200nm
A wide-bandwidth, sensitive O/E converter for characterizing lightwave systems and components, the HP 11982A combines a PIN photodetector with a low-noise dc-coupled preamplifier to create a general-purpose front end. It covers wavelengths from 1200 to 1600 nm and bandwidths from dc to 15 GHz. With 300 V/W conversion gain and 0.05 percent input optical reflections, it significantly improves the sensitivity of the measurement system. The converter comes with a calibration chart of instrument-specific data for making corrected frequency response measurements.
The HP 11982A can be used with an electrical spectrum analyzer to display optical modulation power as a function of frequency. Intensity modulation, distortion, and laser intensity noise are also measured.
The Option 001 memory card programs an HP 8590 E-series spectrum analyzer with frequency response corrections and menus for easy, accurate lightwave measurements to 22 GHz
