| HP 8153A Lightwave Multimeter
mainframe offers two slots for plug-in modules. Since modules can be combined in any
configuration, the instrument can be used as a 1/2 channel power meter, a 1/2 channel
light source, a loss test set, or even as a return loss test set.
Four different power sensor modules,
with different sensitivities from -70 dBm down to -110 dBm, cover the 450 nm to 1700 nm
wavelength range. Each is individually calibrated over its entire wavelength range
and is traceable to NIST and PTB for precise optical insertion loss for both single-mode
and multimode components.

The external power sensors (optical
heads) cover the power range from +27 to -90 dBm. They are especially suitable for
obtaining the highest requirements in absolute accuracy, e.g. for calibration services,
and also for open beam measurements.
The source modules offer very good
short-term and long-term stability. The high output power can be internally
attenuated by up to 6 dB. All sources are able to output CW or pulse-modulated light
(internal modulation at 270 Hz, 1 kHz, or 2 kHz). |
