The Agilent 8509C lightwave polarization analyzer offers high-speed, calibrated polarization measurements of both optical signals and components. Measurement capabilities include; Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD), Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL), Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) launch alignment (polarization cross talk), Degree of Polarization (DOP), Stokes Parameters and Average power measurements.
Wide wavelength range: 1280-1640 nm S, C and L band coverage.
Polarization mode dispersion accuracy: ±0.05ps (50fs).
Polarization mode dispersion measurement range: 0.01 ps (10 fs) to 400 ps, measure very low PMD using the highly accurate Jones Matrix Eigenanalysis (JME) method. PMD measurements can also be made using the Fixed Analyzer (or wavelength scanning) method.
Wide dynamic range: +10 dBm to -55 dBm.
High-speed measurements: Polarization measurement rate of > 3500 points per second.
