The OP508 was specifically designed as a cost effective solution for measuring, monitoring and logging insertion loss or power fluctuations. It is a small (4”x2”x1.25”) portable module designed to minimize movement and bending of the reference and test cables. This results in stable, accurate and repeatable measurements.
The OP508 is offered with a choice of 1mm or 3mm InGaAs, 2mm High Power InGaAs, or 3mm Silicon detectors; and most common connector options (FC, ST, SC, LC, etc…). It comes with a fixed optical interface allowing for a wide variety of applications. The USB-powered module connects directly to the computer. OptoTest provides drivers and applications that allow the user to perform common measurement tasks such as EXCEL data logging or time-stamped stability measurements.
- Broad wavelength spectrum InGaAs: 830nm to 1700nm Silicon: 400nm to 1100nm
- Measurement range InGaAs: +6dBm to -72dBm Silicon: +3dBm to -65dBm
- Relative accuracy of 0.02dB*
- Measurement display resolution down to 0.001dB
- Fast data acquisition rate without compromising measurement accuracy
- Variable sampling rate via software
- Integrated temperature monitoring eliminates the need for an additional temperature sensor during long term stability tests
* Loss less than 10dB
