In this video we look at the analysis of transient optical signals using the OP740.
First, we look at the performance of a mechanical switch as well as a MEMs switch. Then, we look at how the OP740 can be setup to monitor the insertion loss and return loss behavior of the optical
Bidirectional testing is an effective way to test connector-level return loss (RL) and throughput insertion loss (IL) for a variety of different DUTs. In this video, our CTO Chris Heisler walks through the process of referencing and performing a bidi test on a simplex DUT using OPL-CLX. Learn how this new software suite enhances the test process by simplifying how the operator captures results and creates labels for the finished product.
OPL-CLX combines a robust test and measurement engine with a modular structure and SQL database support to create the ultimate testing experience. In this video, learn more about what makes this software suite ideal for production style IL/RL testing.
When building a test system for your device under test (DUT), choosing the correct detector is of upmost importance. In this video, learn everything there is to know about the different detector and power meter options out there. OptoTest offers a wide range of Power Meter solutions, from handheld single detectors to 300+ channel custom systems. Explore the different factors to consider when choosing the right Optical Power Meter to best fit your needs.
With the introduction of the OP925 Continuous Wave RL and IL meter, you may be wondering what the difference is between this and the OP940. This video provides an overview of the different Return Loss test methods used by these systems: Continuous Wave Return Loss and Pulsed (OTDR) Return Loss. Explore the similarities and differences of these test methods and the systems that use them to help determine the solution that best fits your needs.
Meet the newest member of the Insertion Loss and Return Loss meter product line, the OP925 . In this video, learn more about the continuous wave return loss and insertion loss measurements performed by this compact, low cost test solution.
In this video, a receive cable is used to perform throughput insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) testing with the OP925 Continuous Wave RL and IL meter.
Next we’re going to look at testing the total IL and total RL of the DUT using the OP925.
To test insertion loss and return loss with the OP925 first power the instrument on. You’ll need a reference cord with a connector that’s similar to your DUT, also a matching block to terminate the end of the DUT.
Initially, the instrument starts up in OPM mode. To do dual wavelength measurements is usually easier just to cycle over to the dual wavelength IL and what we’re going to do is we’re going to perform a reference, and right now the instrument is referenced for IL.
We are going to run through a full reference and test sequence with the OP940-CSW and OPL-CLX.
We’re going to start by connecting up our reference cable, which historically with the rack mount 12 or 24 channel OP940 would require a fanout cable. But now with this in the compact size, we just have a straight MTP/MPO connector on the inside here and we’re going to mate a 12 fiber MPO to MPO cable straight to the front panel.
Lift the flap here and just connect that right up. And we’ll leave it there for now while we launch CLX.
