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

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

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:

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

The POWER 1500 series analog power metre provides a logarithmic analog output and a digital optical power metre 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.

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

Features:

• Two power metres 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
