ADVANTEST Q8163 Polarization Scrambler

The Advantest Q8163 Optical Polarization Scrambler uses Advantest’s original polarization-variance method. By adopting the high-speed optical-fiber polarization scramble unit, Q8163 achieves: High-speed polarization variance. Low fluctuation of insertion loss. Low insertion loss. High reliability. Fast and ensured measurement of polarization dependent loss (PDL) can be made by using it with Q8221 series optical power meter, which offers low polarization dependency, high-speed measurement and the LD light source. Specifications. Wavelength range: 1.29 to 1.58 µm. Insertion loss: <= 3 dB or less. Insertion-loss fluctuation: ± 0.005 dB or less. Return loss: >= 43 dB (47 dB typical). Polarization-variance speed (two modes available): >= 500 rotations of the Poincaré sphere per second (high speed), >= 10 rotations of the Poincaré sphere per second (low speed). Input/output connector: FC-SPC. External control: GPIB equipped as standard.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the ADVANTEST Q8163. Price does not in most cases include measurement performance data. Pricing does include NIST traceable calibration and issue of a calibration certificate and calibration label. Pricing may vary slightly due to volume and location of laboratory supporting calibration. Volume pricing may apply. On-site fees may apply depending on logistics, location and volume of work to be completed during the visit.

Broadband Source (BBS)
A Broadband Source is a spectrally large source that emits a signal which contains a continuous range of frequencies with a broad optical bandwidth (usually 100 nm or more). Sometimes called a white light source, there are two different meanings of this term. Visible white light and a source which does not necessarily emit in the visible spectral region.

Coherence
Coherence is the pattern and or relationships of waves due to phase properties.

Linearity
Linearity is the relative difference between the displayed power ratio, Dx/D0, and the actual (true) power ratio Px/P0 caused by changing the displayed power level from the reference level, D0, to an arbitrary displayed level, Dx.

Power Flatness Over Modulation
When changing the wavelength and modulation frequency, and measuring the differences between actual and displayed power levels (in dB), the power flatness is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value of all differences.

Singlemode fiber
Singlemode Fiber has a small core, only about 9 microns, and is used for telephony and CATV with laser sources at 1300 and 1550 nm. It can go very long distances at very high speeds. Both multimode and singlemode fiber have an outside diameter of 125 microns - about 5 thousandths of an inch - just slightly larger than a human hair.
