EXFO ELS-500 LED / Laser Light Source

The Exfo ELS-500 Series light source are handhelds built for top ruggedness, perfect for the harshest test conditions. They feature a keypad/LCD backlight, for easy operation in darker environments, rechargeable batteries and interchangeable connectors. Exfo ELS-500 testers help you achieve first-class testing and certification of private/enterprise/premises networks. These products are part of EXFO's series of FTTx optical test products. They allow for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at the three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and complies with the ITU-T G.983 and G.984 Recommendation series and the IEEE 802.3ah standard. The EXFO’s ELS-500 light source provides excellent stability and high measurement accuracy for two singlemode wavelengths (1310 or 1550 nm) on a single port, or four wavelengths (850/1300 nm and 1310/1550 nm) on two ports. It is the perfect complement to the EPM-500 Power Meter when it comes to measuring attenuation on fiber-optic links. When used with the EPM-500 Power Meter, tone generation is just a button away. The ELS-500 has the highest singlemode output power in the industry. Central wavelength (nm): 850 ± 25 / 1300 +50/-10 (ELS-500-12D), 1310 ± 20 / 1550 ± 20 (ELS-500-23BL), Spectral width (nm): 50/135 (ELS-500-12D), Output power (dBm):>= -20/>=-20 (62.5/125 µm) (ELS-500-12D), = 1/= 1 (ELS-500-23BL). Automatic wavelength switching: Yes, Tone generation: 270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, Battery life (hours) (typical in Auto mode): 50.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the EXFO ELS-500. 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.

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)
