This unit
The Ando AQ-1135E is a compact optical power meter engineered for precise measurement of optical power across fiber and free-space applications. It quantifies power from plastic and glass fibers in optical communication systems and measures space-propagating light including laser beams. The instrument delivers 1/1000 dB resolution across a dynamic range of −90 dBm to +10 dBm, supporting wavelengths from 400 nm to 1700 nm depending on sensor configuration.
Technical Specifications
- Optical power measuring range: −90 dBm to +10 dBm (meter); −90 dBm to 0 dBm (sensor-dependent)
- Resolution: 1/1000 dB
- Wavelength range: 400–1700 nm (meter); 700–1600 nm (AQ-1964E card sensor); 400–1100 nm (AQ-1966 sensor)
- Interface: GP-IB (factory option)
Key Features
- Compact, lightweight construction
- Front-panel manual operation or remote control via GP-IB
- Interchangeable optical sensors for application-specific wavelength coverage
- Factory-configurable connector types; FC connector standard
Typical Applications
- Connector insertion loss measurement
- Detection of fine-scale optical power variations in fiber systems
- Wavelength-dependent loss characterization of optical cables and components when paired with a light source
Compatibility & Integration The AQ-1135E accepts Ando optical sensors including the AQ-1973, AQ-1964E, AQ-1965, and AQ-1966. Adapter kits enable non-FC connector compatibility. External controllers configure the instrument via GP-IB interface.
