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
