APPLICATIONS
Laser diode PMF pig-tailing Alignment of the PM fiber during the pig-tailing process is supported by real-time display of the PER and the optical power. Characterization of PMF cross-coupling Polarization crosstalk in a PM fiber is measured and displayed as PER. The angular misalignment of a PM splice can be measured in a non-destructive way. Even multiple splices in a chain can be characterized independently. Using Agilent’s tunable laser source 81600B Series in combination with Agilent’s software package includes drivers for most of the tunable laser sources commonly used in industry. PM component characterization Measurement of the PER on PM components like fiber polarizers, PMF couplers, PMF splitters, etc. N7782B and N7783B Application Examples N7783B α N7782B Thermal cycling unit Laser diode PMF PER analyzer Figure 1.
