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.

Absolute Wavelength Accuracy
Absolute Wavelength Accuracy is the maximum difference between the actual wavelength and the displayed wavelength of the Optical Source. Wavelength is defined as wavelength in vacuum.

Decibel (dB)
A unit of measurement of optical power which indicates relative power. A -10 dB means a reduction in power by 10 times, -20 dB means another 10 times or 100 times overall, -30 means another 10 times or 1000 times overall and so on.

Nanometer (nm)
A unit of measure used to measure wavelength of light, meaning one one-billionth of a meter

Relative Intensity Noise (RIN)
Relative intensity noise (RIN), describes the instability in the power level of a laser. The noise term is important to describe lasers used in fiber-optic communication and LIDAR remote sensing. It is the square of the (spectrally resolved) RMS optical power amplitude divided by the measurement bandwidth and the square of the average optical power, expressed in dB/Hz.

Total Return loss
In an optical fiber, the loss that takes place at any discontinuity of refractive index, especially at an air-glass interface such as a fiber endface, at which a fraction of the optical signal is reflected back toward the source. RL = - 10log10 (Preflected/Preference)
