HP 83810B Portable Lightwave Signal Analyzer |
The low-cost HP 83810B lightwave signal analyzer has a wavelength range of 1200 to 1600 nm and bandwidths of 9 kHz to 22 GHz. It displays optical modulation power as a function of frequency, and it measures and displays intensity modulation, distortion, and laser intensity noise. Maximum optical sensitivity is -62 dBm at 100 MHz and -47 dBm at 22 GHz. Frequency response is ±2.2 dB at 100 MHz and ±3.2 dB at 22 GHz. An optical marker function allows measurements to be expressed in optical or electrical units, logarithmic, or linear. Frequency-response corrections and optical power are calculated automatically.
The HP 83810B consists of a fully functional HP 8593E portable microwave spectrum analyzer, the HP 11982A amplified lightwave converter, the HP 11982A Option 001 lightwave frequency-response corrections and menus, an interface cable, and a type-N-to-SMA adapter.
The amplified lightwave converter combines a PIN photodetector with a low-noise preamplifierto improve the sensitivity of the measurement system. Conversion gain is 300 volts/watt, and input optical reflections are < 0.05%. The frequency-response corrections included with the analyzer allow you to observe and measure changes in noise floor and distortion products when a laser is modulated. This enables you to predict the effects of laser noise.
Adding the HP 11980A fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer to the lightwave signal analyzer allows you to make linewidth, chirp, and frequency modulation (FM) measurements of single-line lasers.
