Keysight (Agilent) 81573A 60 dB Variable Optical Attenuator Module

The Agilent 81573A Variable Optical Attenuator plug-in module is an instrument that attenuates and controls the optical power level of light in single mode optical fibers. As plug-in modules for Agilent’s Lightwave Multichannel platform (8163A/B, 8164A/B, 8166A/B) they allow you to set the attenuation factor and/or power level manually, or remotely via a common computer interface. Their high accuracy combined with their flexibility make them ideal as test and measurement equipment for the modern telecommunication industry. The Agilent 81573A module features excellent wavelength flatness and can handle high input power levels. Combined with their low insertion loss, they are ideal for optical amplifer test, such as characterization of EDFAs and of Raman amplifiers, as well as for other multiwavelength applications, such as DWDM transmission system test. Specifications. Wavelength range: 1200-1700 nm. Fiber type: 9/125 µm SMF28. Attenuation range: 0-60 dB. Resolution: 0.001 dB. Repeatability: +/- 0.01 dB. Accuracy (uncertainty): +/-0.1 dB. Settling time: typ. 100 ms. Polarization dependent loss: <0.08 dBpp (typ. 0.03 dBpp). Return loss: typ. 57 dB. Maximum input power: +33 dBm. Insertion loss: typically 0.7 dB excluding connectors. Connectivity: SMF pigtail, FC/APC termination.

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
