Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 81618A #9176990 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 81618A is an advanced electronic test equipment designed to measure and characterize optical components and systems. It is a high-performance source-measure unit (SMU) providing automated measurements for the test and characterization of optical networks and components. It is suitable for testing and characterization of fiber-optic components and systems, particularly when working in the range from 0 to 16 dBm optical power. HP 81618A utilizes high-speed microprocessor control and optical sensor technology that provides highly accurate and repeatable measurements. It has pass/fail measurement capability that supports optical POL EQA (opticalPerformance Qualification Assurance) on optical components and systems. It also offers reliable and repeatable measurements with enhanced dynamic range and improved spectral resolution. The sensitivity is 0.001 dBm, and the dynamic range is from -55 to +18 dBm, with measurement speeds as fast as one microsecond. AGILENT 81618A includes two main elements: an optical source and an optical power meter. The optical source has a range from 0 to 16 dBm and is capable of generating eight distinct optical wavelengths. The optical power meter has a range of 0 to 18 dBm and can measure up to eight wavelengths simultaneously. It also measures optical dispersion, chromatic dispersion, and loss at each measurement point. HEWLETT-PACKARD 81618A is designed to detect and identify signal events with fractions of a nanosecond temporal resolution. It also features a built-in linear polarization equalizer for measuring linear-polarization-dependent optical components and systems over a wide range of angles. 81618A is equipped with an intuitive graphical user interface, allowing users to easily access setup options and adjust settings for the desired measurement outcomes. It supports a variety of programming languages, including MATLAB, LabVIEW, and Python, for custom automation and scripting. Overall, KEYSIGHT 81618A electronic test equipment is an excellent choice for testing and characterizing optical components and systems. It is designed with both versatile performance capabilities and intuitive operation, allowing users to quickly execute tests and easily troubleshoot issues. It can measure eight optical wavelengths simultaneously, has a dynamic range of 0 to 18 dBm, and offers reliable pass/fail measurements with improved spectral resolution.
