Agilent / HP 81532A Used Agilent HP 81532A Power Sensor Module

This unit

The Agilent HP 81532A is an InGaAs-based optical power sensor module engineered for high-accuracy measurements across the near-infrared spectrum. Designed as a plug-in component for Agilent/HP 8153A, 8163, and 8164 series Lightwave Multimeter mainframes, it delivers precise power quantification from +3 dBm to -110 dBm across 800 nm to 1700 nm wavelengths. The module achieves ±2.5% accuracy at reference conditions (600 nm–1020 nm) with total uncertainty of ±5% ±0.5 pW in the 600–1020 nm band and ±5% ±50 pW from 1000–1650 nm.

Linearity performance reaches ±0.015 dB in the 18–28 °C temperature window for power levels 0 to -90 dBm. Selectable averaging times from 100 µs to minutes enable noise suppression below 0.5 pW (700–900 nm) and below 50 pW (1200–1600 nm) at 1 second integration. A 20-minute warm-up period establishes optimal measurement stability.

The sensor connects via standard Agilent optical interface connectors and provides GPIB programmability with millisecond measurement transfer times. Operating range spans 0–55 °C ambient temperature in non-condensing environments. Recalibration intervals of 1–2 years maintain metrological traceability, with aging tolerance of 0.3% per year.
