   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.

dBm
Optical power referenced to 1 millimatt

Multimode Fiber
Multimode Fiber has a large core (almost always 62.5 microns - a micron is one one millionth of a meter - but sometimes 50 microns) and is used with LED sources at wavelengths of 850 and 1300 nm for short distance, lower speed networks like LANs. 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.

Power Repeatability
Power Repeatability is the random uncertainty in reproducing the power level after changing and re-setting the power level. The power repeatability is ± half the span (in dB) between the highest and lowest actual power. Note: - The long-term power repeatability can be obtained by taken the power repeatability and power stability into account.

Refractive Index
The refractive index or index of refraction of a substance is a measure of the speed of light in that substance. It is expressed as a ratio of the speed of light in vacuum relative to that in the considered medium. The velocity at which light travels in vacuum is a physical constant, and the fastest speed at which energy or information can be transferred. However, light travels slower through any given material, or medium, that is not vacuum.

Total insertion loss
A measure of the loss of light within an optical component
