AV6382 Programmable Optical Attenuator

Product Summaries:

AV6382/AV6381B programmable optical attenuator is the newest instrument designed for single-mode fiber system. It´s mainly applicable to BER, EDFA characterization measurement, component and system loss simulation, instrument calibration, linearity measurement.

60dB attenuation range

    AV6381/AV6381B can provide continuously adjustable attenuation range of 0∼60dB (excluding insert loss).

 Wide wavelength range

    AV6381/AV6381B can provide attenuation in a wide wavelength range of 1200∼1650nm.In addition, it can also self-correct attenuation data of every wavelength point through specified calibration data to guarantee the accuracy of attenuation value.

 Optical shutter

    AV6381/AV6381B can provide a optical shutter to cut off the light path.

 GPIB interface

    By providing GPIB interface, AV6381/AV6381B can be connected to PC easily, so by adding other instruments users can set up required automatic test system themselves.

Applications:  

  AV6381/AV6381B programmable optical attenuator can meet system and component manufactures´ need in various applications
        ο Bit error rate test
        ο Receiver sensitivity test
        ο EDFA characterization
        ο System/component loss simulation
