Connected Fibers F2H Series Light Source

 

The F2H series of laser light sources offer excellent stability and portability for accurate fiber optic testing. Single output port provides stable laser power at dual wavelength. The compact unit operates in either continuous wave (CW) mode or modulated mode. A low battery indicator reminds the user of replacing the battery. 1.25mm conversion adapter is also available for LC and MU connectors.

FHS2 Series Light Source with Auto-Wavelength Recognition


The FHS2 units can transmit with a wavelength-identification digital 
encrypted protocol, enabling the FHP2 series of Power Meters to 
automatically switch to the correct wavelength and use the proper calibration 
parameters. This feature reduces the need for communication between the two 
technicians and decreases the potential for error. The FHS2 series offer 
excellent stability and portability for accurate fiber optic testing. Single 
output port provides stable laser power at dual wavelengths. The compact unit 
operates in either continuous wave (CW) mode or modulated mode. The output power 
is adjustable through up & down keystroke. A low battery 
indicator alerts the user when it is time to recharge the 
battery.

Easy-to-use, straight forward operation

Eye-catching handheld package

LCD backlight for easy operation in darker environments

Rechargeable battery inside

850 & 1300 available for multimode testing

OptoTest OP250 USB Light Source

The OP250 is a configurable stabilized light source with a variety of Lasers and LEDs. Available in a single port or dual port configuration, selectable wavelengths, and various power levels and industry standard optical interfaces this instrument offers all the features and functions necessary for the development, testing and inspecting of optical components and cables.

The standalone, internally powered module also connects to the USB port of any computer. OptoTest provides for drivers and applications integrating it with the OP500 series of power meters. This allows the user to perform common measurement tasks such as EXCEL compatible data logging or time-stamped stability measurements.

 

Key Features :

Stabilized Laser or LED Source

Depending on the type of source the one hour stability is better than +/-0.02dB. All LED sources and if necessary the laser sources are temperature compensated.

Single Port Laser Source

Available wavelength are between 630nm and 1625nm at power levels up to 5mW.

Dual Port Laser Source

Configured for telecom testing at 1310nm and 1550nm., other combinations are available per customer request.

Single Port and Dual Port LED Source

Selectable wavelength are between 630nm and 1550nm with power levels up to 1mW. Special Launch Conditions such as under fill and overfill can be ordered.

Internal Chargeable Battery

The internal battery is based on latest Lithium Ion technology for longer lasting operation.

USB Powered, Plug & Play

Besides the internal charge- able battery or external power supply the OP250 is a bus powered, low power (<100mA) USB device. In addition to powering the source the battery is charged through the USB bus. With the supplied drivers the source output power and modulation can be controlled remotely.

Integrated ambient temperature tracking

If connected to the USB bus the OP250 measures the ambient temperature (ºC or ºF) within -10ºC ...+55ºC at a resolution of 0.1ºC. This feature eliminates the need for an external temperature sensor during long-term stability testing.
