The Ando AQ8423B optical amplifier analyzer employs a new optical technique-the pulse method for easy, accurate evaluation of optical fiber amplifiers. This measurement system is able to provide accurate measurements even when the input level of the optical fiber amplifier signal is high, a challenging task with conventional measurement systems. It is available in two models-Type A, with a built-in optical booster amplifier, and Type B, without the optical booster amplifier. Specifications. Measured wavelengths: 1500 to 1570 nm. DUT input power range: -45 to -6 dBm. DUT output power measurement range: -30 to +30 dBm. Gain measurement Accuracy: ±0.20dB. NF measurement Accuracy: ±0.30dB. DUT input power set Accuracy: ±0.20dB. DUT output power measurement Accuracy: ±0.20dB. Measurement time 1st point: Approx. 30 sec. (normal measurement mode), Approx. 80 sec. (precision measurement mode). Setup time: Min. 1 hour after power on. Measurements Intensity dependence: Input-gain, input-NF, input-output. Measurements Wavelength dependence: wavelength-gain, wavelength-NF, wavelengthinput, wavelength -output. Measurements Stability: Time-gain, time-NF, time-input, time-output.
