  Zero function

    AV6334 offers zero function.The function is for eliminating the equivalent power that the dark current and noise of the light detector produce. Measuring faint optical power (absolute optical power is less than –50dBm), the instrument should be zeroed. Zero must be in the condition of keeping out the light. It is helpful to improve the measure accuracy.

 Auto-range, Hold-range, Manual-range function

    AV6334 offers auto-range,hold-range,manual-range function.According to light power variety scope and variety speed, you can adopt the different range mode.For example,if the variety scope of the input light power lack 10 dB,you can consumedly increase the measure speed by selecting the hold-range function,because of it can save consumed time of range switch in auto-range mode.

 Compensating wavelength response function

    In order to measure the power in the whole wave-band, AV6334 offers an embedded compensating curve agree with the detector´s wavelength response.Moreover, according to the customer´s special request, AV6334 offers the accurate calibration at some special wavelength.

  Data storage, recall, output function

    AV6334 offers data storage,recall,output function. It is convenient to handle these measure data in the evening period.

  Light division ratio and light division loss test function

    AV6334B,AV6334C specially offers light division ratio and light division loss test function,and very much suits to monitor the power division and loss in the process to manufacture the optical passive device (optical coupler etc).

  Parameter setting function

    AV6334 offers parameter setting function,such as λ(the customer definition wavelength),REF(reference power),CAL(customer calibration factor),GPIB(GPIB address),CPLR(light division ratio),CLOCK(system clock),etc.You can set these parameters according to the demands.

  Application function

    AV6334 specially offers application function,such as extremum MAX(maximum positive deviation),MIN(minimum negative deviation),DIF(the difference between MAX and MIN),can be used to measure the stability of the optical power.

  GPIB and RS232 interface function

    AV6334 offers the GPIB and RS232 interface. From the RS232 interface,It can output the real-time measure result.With the GPIB interface,It can constitute the automatic test system with other GPIB equipments and PC.

Typical application 1: Measure the size and stability of the light source´s output optical power with AV6334.

    Connect the output port of the light source and the input port of the optical power meter with fiber,power on and preheat the instrument,set operation wavelength of the power meter corresponding to light source´s center wavelength,the measure value is the size of the light source´s output power.

    According to the test request,choose and run a function from the MAX,MIN,DIF test functions,at the same time,the system clock start to time for zero.AV6334 can automatically execute measure and record the value in the limited time,when the test stop, the measure value is the stability of the light source´s output optical power.

Typical application 2: Measure the light division ratio of the optical coupler with AV6334.

    Connect the output port of the light source and the input port of the optical coupler with fiber, connect the two output ports of the optical coupler and the two input ports of the optical power meter(AV6334B or AV6334C) respectively with fiber,press the  "mode "  key, the instrument goes into the coupling ratio measure mode, the measure value is the light division ratio and total light division loss.The special function very much suit to monitor the power division and loss in the proce
