   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.

Chromatic Dispersion
Chromatic Dispersion is a broadening of the input signal as it travels down the length of the fiber. Chromatic Dispersion results from a variation in propagation delay with wavelength, and is affected by fiber materials and dimensions.

Detector
A Detector is a signal conversion device that converts power from one form to another, such as from optical power to electrical power

Jitter
Jitter in technical terms is the deviation in or displacement of some aspect of the pulses in a high-frequency digital signal. Jitter is the time variation of a periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. Jitter may be observed in characteristics such as the frequency of successive pulses, the signal amplitude, or phase of periodic signals. Jitter is a significant, and usually undesired, factor in the design of almost all communications links (e.g., USB, PCI-e, SATA, OC-48). In clock recovery applications it is called timing jitter.

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)
Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is a form of modal dispersion where two different polarizations of light in a waveguide, which normally travel at the same speed, travel at different speeds due to random imperfections and asymmetries, causing random spreading of optical pulses. It is he difference between the maximum and minimum values of loss typically measured in ps/km^1/2.
