Power Flatness over Wavelength
Power Flatness over Wavelength - Without Attenuation
Follow the steps below to measure the power flatness over wavelength
(without using attenuation):
1 Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 21.
2 Move to the Tunable Laser channel of the Agilent 8164A Lightwave
Measurement System and press [Menu].
3 Set the menu parameters to the values shown in Table Table 5.
For Agilent 81480A, Agilent 81640A, Agilent 81680A,
Agilent 81642A#003, and Agilent 81682A#003:
Set <Power Mode> to <Manual Att>.
4 Set the wavelength and power for each Tunable Laser module to the
values given in Table Table 14.
5 If you are using the Agilent 81480A, Agilent 81680A or the
Agilent 81640A Tunable Laser module:
Connect the output fiber to Output 1, the Low SSE output.
Set <Optical Output> to <Low SSE (1)>.
6 Set the power meter channel of the HP 8153A to the following
settings:
a Set range to 0 dBm. Press Up or Down as required.
b Set T, the averaging time, to 500 ms.
