Move to the TLS channel of the 8164A/B mainframe. Set the [Menu]

parameters to:

4 Set the output power of the TLS module to:

5 Set the Optical Spectrum Analyzer:

a Set span to 30 nm.

Press Span, and enter this value.

b Set the Resolution Bandwidth to 1 nm.

Press [AMPL], press [BW Swp] then enter this value.

c Set the Sensitivity to -60 dBm.

Press [AMPL], press [SENS] then enter this value.

6 Record the spectrum (run a single sweep):

a Press Peak Search in the Marker field.

b Set the Marker to Center Wavelength and note its displayed wave-

length as:

OSA_λ_center = ________________ nm

7 Find the maximum power level at OSA_λ_center, peak_power, and

enter the result in the test record in [pW]:

Peak_power = ___________ 10

-12

W = ___________ pW
