HP 8504B Precision Reflectometer![]()
|
The HP 8504B precision reflectometer measures connectorized components in single-mode fiber. (Performance is good, but not optimum in multimode fiber). The measurement span can be varied from 1 mm to 40 cm. The location of the 40 cm measurement window can be offset by adding the appropriate length of extension cable. Measurements are made using internal 1300 nm and 1550 nm light sources.
The HP 8504B can also be an important tool in preventing and solving component failure modes. Determining the precise location of a crack or break in a small optical assembly is easily achieved.
In addition to measuring reflections, there are also a variety of other applications including source coherence functions, precision length measurements, and characterization of the effects of birefringence (including polarization mode dispersion and fiber beat length).
