Showing Results for Keysight Technologies (Agilent HP) 8153A

The central element of the 8153A lightwave multimeter system is the mainframe. You customize the mainframe using plug-in modules and a changeable fiber connector interface.

The 8153A has a dual channel display. For each channel, there is a main display with six digits and an auxiliary display with eight characters. The 8153A can function as a half-channel power meter or light source, or as a loss/return-loss test set. Each of the four power sensor modules is calibrated over its entire wavelength range and is traceable to NIST and PTB for precise optical power measurements. Their excellent linearity and high stability provide the basis for precise determination of optical insertion loss for both single-mode and multi-mode components.

The source modules for the system offer very good short-term and long-term stability. The high output power can be internally attenudated by up to 6 dB. All sources ouput CW or pulse-modulated light.
