Description

Polarization Dependent Loss Multimeter - PolaChex™

Using a patented maximum and minimum search method (compliant with TIA/EIA-455-198; ref. "Automatic Maximum-Minimum Search Method for Accurate PDL and DOP characterization"), PolaCHEX™ systematically searches for the maximum and minimum transmissions to assure measurement accuracy at all times for devices with both low and high PDL values. It is therefore the most accurate PDL meter available. Even more impressively, PolaCHEX covers a wide wavelength range from 1260 to 1620 nm without wavelength calibration, a clear advantage over PDL meters based on the Mueller Matrix method.

Features:

  • 30 ms measurement speed
  • Wide wavelength range
  • High PDL accuracy
  • Analog PDL output
  • Bright OLED display
  • Power meter function

Applications:

  • PDL vs. wavelength measurement
  • DWDM device characterization
  • Fiber sensor component characterization
