Agilent 81595B – Optical Sensor The Agilent 81595B 1×4 Optical Switch Module

The plug-in module for Agilent’s Lightwave Solution Platform 8163B, 8164B, 8166B is ideal for flexible system configuration in applications such as transceiver/receiver test with small foot-print or multiple passive component test with complex cascade.

The Agilent modular design of the optical switch features a 1×4 matrix in both SMF and MMF with low insertion loss and highly repeatable switch routing in <10 ms switching time. Routing of various optical sources such as laser in various wavelenght range and routing of various optical receiver such as power sensor, oscilloscope, BERT. Features: •Highest repeatablity specified over 10.000 random switch cycles: 0.03dB •Guaranteed lifetime > 10 Mio. cycles
•Insertion Loss < 2dB •PDL < 0.07dB for Single-mode option •Return Loss > 55dB
•Crosstalk up to -70dB
•High switching speed < 10ms Benefits: •Using one test setup for testing DUTs in all transmission bands. •High uptime of test system minimize cost of ownership. •Minimize test uncertainties, maximize power budget enables higher production yield an highly competitive product specifications. •Minimize test times – maximize production throughput. •Minimal influence on transmitted signal.
