   ACTERNA OLA-15B   Description / Specification:    
ACTERNA OLA-15B 60 dB Handheld Variable Optical Attenuator

The Acterna OLA-15B is a handy-sized, rugged optical attenuator for single mode applications from 1260 to 1625 nm. Applications include bit error rate tests, determination of system margin and receiver sensitivity, and calibration of optical power meters. The OLA-15B has a large rotary control on the front panel which makes setting of the attenuation quick and easy. Attenuation can be setwithin a wide range from 3 to 60 dB. For high-return loss applications both optical connectors can be provided with an APC (angled physical contact) interface as an option. It can be operated with AC, dry or rechargeable batteries. Specifications. Wavelength Range of use: 1260 to 1625 nm. Wavelength Calibrated at: 1310 and 1550 nm. Attenuation range: 3 to 60 dB. Minimum insertion loss: <= 3 dB. Linearity: ±0.2 dB. Repeatability of attenuation setting: ±0.1 dB. Total attenuation uncertainty: ±0.8 dB. Attenuation display: 4 digit liquid crystal display. Resolution: 0.05 dB. Fiber type: single-mode 9/125mm. Return loss at input/output: >40 dB (PC), >60 dB (APC). Maximum input level: + 23 dBm.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the ACTERNA OLA-15B. 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.
