Bristol 828 High-speed Optical Wavelength Meter

The 828 Series High-Speed Optical Wavelength Meter uses interferometer technology that is very different than that employed by other wavelength meters used for optical transceiver testing applications. A Fizeau etalon design is used to generate a spatial interferogram that is detected by a fast InGaAs photodetector array. Using an on-board digital signal processor, the interferometric data is processed quickly into an accurate wavelength measurement. The combination of these technologies provides an unmatched, sustained measurement rate of 1 kHz.

Features:

• Wavelength measured to an accuracy of ± 3pm

• Fatest measurement rate of 1kHz for reduced testing times

• Automatic calibration with a built-in wavelength standard

• Measurement confidence level of >99.7%

• Traceable to NIST standards

• Simultaneous optical power measurement to ± 0.5dB

• Convenient touch-screen display reports measurement data in a variety of formats

• Interfacing via SCPI using USB, Ethermet or GPIB

• Data streaming available using RS-422 serial interface

• Internal data storage for up to one million measurements

• Rugged design for manufacturing environments

• Includes 5 year warranty
