EXFO FTB-5500B Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) Analyzer Module

The EXFO FTB-5500B PMD Analyzer module is designed for ultra-long-haul and 40 Gbit/s applications. It provides you with the speed, accuracy and high performance you need to ensure high-quality network services. Particularly important in multichannel transmission and as rates reach 40 Gbit/s and higher, second-order PMD is derived from the measured PMD value. EXFO’s software provides second-order PMD delay and coefficient values for telecom fibers. These values allow you to characterize fibers and cables more precisely than simple PMD and better control the transmission quality of high-speed systems. The Exfo FTB-5500B has unique technology that allows for both the auto-correlation and cross-correlation to be known. Therefore, any spectral shape of source can be used. The auto-correlation peak is thus removed, and higher accuracy and resolution are obtained. PMD of 0 ps can be measured. In addition, a signal transmitted through EDFAs can be analyzed for total link PMD. Specifications. Wavelength range: 1260 to 1675 nm (O to U band). Measurement range: 0 to 115 ps. Sensitivity (Typical, for C band. May be increased with averaging. With the FLS-5800, the typical dynamic range is 47 dB.): –45 dBm. Measuring time: 4.5 s (for any PMD value). Absolute uncertainty (strong mode coupling), (ps) ± (0.020 + 2 % of PMD). Allows measurement through EDFA Yes (above 120 EDFAs).

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.

Coherence Length
Average distance over which superimposed waves lose their phase relationships

Linewidth
Linewidth is the width of a spectral line in terms of wavelength, wave number and frequency.

Power Flatness Versus Wavelength
When changing the wavelength at constant power setting and recording the differences between actual and displayed power levels, the power flatness is ± half the span (in dB) between the maximum and the minimum of the measured power levels.

Spectral Width
Spectral Width is the wavelength interval over which the magnitude of all spectral components is equal to or greater than a specified fraction of the magnitude of the component having the maximum value. In optical communications applications, the usual method of specifying spectral width is the full width at half maximum. This is the same convention used in bandwidth, defined as the frequency range where power drops by less than half (at most -3 dB).

Telecom Bands
Optical fiber communications typically operate in a wavelength region corresponding to one of the following Bands. O Band (original): 1260–1360 nm. E Band (extended): 1360–1460 nm. S Band (short wavelengths): 1460–1530 nm. C Band (conventional): 1530–1565 nm. L Band (long wavelengths): 1565–1625 nm. U Band (ultralong wavelengths): 1625–1675 nm
