a
You can use the HP 71452B or HP 71450A #100 instead of the Agilent 86142B.
b
You can use the Burleigh WA-1500 Wavemeter instead of the Agilent 86120C.
c
You can use the 81623A/B #C01 instead of the 81624A/B #C01
d
For the 81600B #200, #160 and #150 approximately 1520 nm, 2 nm at 3 dB
For the 81600B #140 approximately 1407 nm, 2 nm at 3 dB
e
You can use the 81637B instead of the 81636B. Required characteristic: Sample rate ≥ 40 kHz
f
Required characteristics:
- Optical length 9.35 ± 0.08 mm at 1510 nm
- Reflectivity 50 ± 2 %
- Wavelength range 1250 nm - 1650 nm
- Birefringency DIN 3140-6, that is 20 nm/cm or 2*10
-6
- Linear polarizer with AR-coating at FP-etalon input (~ 30 dB extinction ratio, aligned with the principle state of polarization)
- Temperature Dependency: drift < 0.1 pm over the duration of the test (~ 15 min.).
A reasonable target temperature coefficient is < 0.3 pm/K, which typically requires active temperature regulation.
- Insertion Loss (minimum value over the specified wavelength range) < 3.5 dB
Fiber connections: Angled PM fiber at input (requires DUT independent patchcord) and angled SM fiber at output.
