Keysight (Agilent) 8509B Lightwave Polarization Analyzer

The Agilent 8509B lightwave polarization analyzer system offers calibrated polarization measurements of optical signals and components. These capabilities are provided by innovations in hardware, software. and mathematics. Hardware contributions include a four-diode detection scheme covering 1200 nm to 1600 nm. An automatic three-state polarization generator is provided within the Agilent 8509B. Fabry-Perot internal lasers, 1300 to 1550 nm, can be ordered as an option. External single-wavelength or swept-wavelength sources can also be used. The Agilent 8509B measures the state of polarization (SOP) of optical signals. Stokes parameter and relative angle comparisons between data points are simplified with three data markers. Measurement accuracy is increased by using known polarization standards to create defined polarization reference frames before signals are tested. Receiver Characteristics. Wavelength operating range: 1200 to 1600 nm. Input power operating range: +10 to -55 dBm. Input average power damage level: +16 dBm. Average power measurement uncertainty: ±15%. Degree of polarization measurement uncertainty: 1200 to 1280 nm, ±5.0%; 1280 to 1340 nm, ±2.0%; 1470 to 1580 nm, ±2.0%; 1580 to 1600 nm, ±3.0%. Measurement rate: >2000 per second. Option 001, 1300/1500 nm Laser Source.

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
