Fiber Optic Power Meters

Fiber Optic Power Meters of the POWER 1400 Series

The POWER 1400 series of the MATRIQ instrument class includes various power meters for fiber optic applications ranging from -60 dBm to +10 dBm.

A logarithmic amplifier eliminates gain jumps that would distort the results provided by linear power meters.

Features:

• Data logging: Data from up to 1024 measurements can be recorded on two channels over time. This also allows transients to be tracked.
• A logarithmic amplifier ensures consistent and reliable measurements in all power ranges. This is a crucial advantage over linear amplifiers, which can exhibit power jumps.
• Easy operation via a browser-based graphical user interface. The instrument can be controlled from a PC or mobile device. Remote access is also possible.

Applications:

• Fiber optic production measurements
• Integration of fiber optic power measurement in automated test systems
• Cross-platform laboratory instrumentfor fiber optic laser testing and laser characterization in research, development, and production

POWER 1500 Series Analog Fiber Optic Power Meters

The POWER 1500 series analog power meter provides a logarithmic analog output and a digital optical power meter for applications requiring real-time feedback.

Features:

• Reliable at all power levels: Logarithmic amplifier eliminates the power jumps that can occur with linear amplifiers
• Supports single-mode and multimode applications
• Digital output of measured power level: ideal for applications requiring real-time feedback
• Analog output can be integrated into the hardware setup for fast power feedback in the kHz range; logarithmic output makes it easy to detect low power signals
• Simple, intuitive graphical user interface for PC and mobile device.

POWER 1600 Series Inline Fiber Optic Power Meters

Inline POWER 1600 series MATRIQ instruments allow the fast and accurate inline power measurement of fiber optic systems.

Features:

• Two power meters in one instrument allow the simultaneous measurement of two lines
• Suitable for high-power measurements in the range of -50 dBm to +20 dBm
• Low insertion loss
• The instruments can be controlled and read out remotely via a user-friendly graphical user interface
