High performance optical power meter
Unique design combines interface module with as many as four ultra-high power optical remote heads for production floor and development lab applications
Exfo has launched its IQS-1700 high-performance optical power meter and OHS-1713-UH ultra-high power optical remote heads for production floor and development lab applications The IQS-1700 high-performance power meter, an interface module contained inside the new IQS Cortex platform, is available in various configurations to connect one, two, or four optical remote heads to devices under test

Power meters get more powerful
High-performance optical power meters now available with different detector sizes and types, standard- and low-polarisation sensitivity, and ultra-high power configurations
The OHS-1713-UH is the first in a series of remote test heads that can handle up to 40dBm through a patent-pending integrating cavity design.
It also allows easy testing of bare and connected fibres.
"As data transmission rates and DWDM channel counts increase to accommodate the growing demand for bandwidth, it dramatically increases power levels in transmission systems and components," said Mario Larose, vice-president of marketing at Exfo.
"These technological trends have created a concurrent need for high-performance optical test instruments to measure increasing power levels.
"Our revolutionary power meter provides immediate and future-proof characterisation of next-generation active and passive components such as EDFA and Raman amplifiers, pump lasers, transmitters, arrayed waveguides and fibre Bragg gratings.".
