PS3 Series Polarization Dependent Loss Multimeter
The JDS Uniphase Polarization Dependent Loss Multimeters are
the fastest and most accurate multimeters available. They
measure polarization dependent loss (PDL) of single-mode
fiberoptic components using either an internal laser or an
external source. The multimeters measure the loss of a device
under test for four independent input polarization states. The
PDL and the average loss over all polarization states are
calculated using the Mueller matrix, internationally
standardized under IEC (613)00-3-12.
The multimeters easily and rapidly change from measuring PDL
and insertion loss (IL) to measuring return loss (RL) or power.
The PDL and IL are measured and displayed simultaneously in
less than two seconds.
The multimeters have a sophisticated optical design that
compensates for changes in optical power at the internal
reference detector. The design ensures accurate loss
measurements regardless of drift in the source power or the
coupling efficiency of the input light through the polarization
state controller. The integrated PDL standard source is
particularly convenient for verifying the meter's calibration. An
external tunable laser or two fixed laser sources can be selected
for various wavelength measurements. The multimeters are
ideal for PDL-sensitive components, such as isolators, DWDMs,
fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), optical circulators, switches,
attenuators, couplers, and other devices for which high test
accuracy and optimum production speed are crucial.
Two models are available: the PS3 single internal laser source
and PS3 dual internal laser source. The internal lasers available
for the single internal laser source are: 980, 1310, 1480, 1550,
1625, or 1650 nm. The dual internal laser source is available
with 1310/1550, 1550/1625, 1550/1650, 1480/1550 nm. Other
accessories, such as detector adapters and hybrid jumpers, are
also available.
