   ANDO AQ-3140 (AQ3140)   Description / Specification:    
ANDO AQ-3140 Optical Variable Attenuator

The Ando AQ-3140 is a highly precise optical variable attenuator, ideal for measurements of optical loss characteristics and transmission error rate in evaluating single-mode fiber-optic communications equipment. The Ando AQ3140 contains both a step attenuator arid a continuous attenuator for precise optical level adjustments up to 65dB. Non-reflective coating on optical surface enables the AQ-3140 to achieve the high return loss of 40dB. This is suitable for measuring systems having optical device like light source that is susceptible to reflected light. Specifications. Wavelength: 1300 nm / 1550 nm. Max. attenuation: 65 dB. Attenuation: 0 to 50dB in 10dB steps and; 0 to 15dB continuously variable. Insertion loss: 3dB or less (at attenuation setting of 0 dB). Return loss: 40dB or more. Connector: FC-Super PC. Applicable fibers: SM (10/125 um).

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the ANDO AQ-3140. 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.

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
