The Agilent 86120C—At a Glance
The Agilent 86120C Multi-Wavelength Meter measures the wavelength
and optical power of laser light in the 1270–1650 wavelength range.
Because the Agilent 86120C simultaneously measures multiple laser
lines, you can characterize wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM)
systems and the multiple lines of Fabry- Perot lasers.
CAUTION For Option 022 instruments, the front-panel OPTICAL INPUT connector is an
angled physical contact interface.
Characterize laser lines easily
With the Agilent 86120C you can quickly and easily measure any of
the following parameters:
• Measure up to 200 laser lines simultaneously
• Wavelengths and powers
• Average wavelength
• Total optical power
• Laser line separation
• Laser drift (wavelength and power)
• Signal-to-noise ratios
• Fabry-Perot lasers
NOTE
The front-panel OPTICAL INPUT connector uses a single-mode input fiber.
