Test Procedure - High Power output

This test procedure is applicable to the:

It measures the power stability of the module at the outputs indicated.

1 Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 33.

2 Connect the fiber to the optical output.

For Agilent 81600B #200, #160, #150, #140 and #130 modules,

connect to the High Power output, Output 2.

Set <Optical Output> to <High Power (2)>.

3 Move to the TLS channel of the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave

Measurement System and set the [Menu] parameters to:
