This unit

The Ando AQ2200-211 is a high-sensitivity optical sensor module for long-wavelength power measurement within the AQ2200 Multi Application Test System. Installed in compatible AQ2200 series frame controllers, it delivers high-speed, high-accuracy optical power measurements across multiple channels with exceptional polarization stability. The module captures power fluctuations at 100 µs data acquisition intervals and stores up to 20,000 data points per channel, enabling detailed characterization of dynamic optical signals.


Technical Specifications



  • Measurement Range: +10 dBm to –80 dBm

  • Data Acquisition Interval: 100 µs minimum

  • Data Storage Capacity: 20,000 data points per channel

  • Polarization Dependence: 0.005 dBp-p or less

  • Analog Output: D/A conversion at 100 µs intervals (not direct analog amplified output)

  • Data Interface: USB storage for acquired data


Key Features



  • Simultaneous multi-channel optical power measurement capability

  • Low polarization dependence enables accurate PDL assessment

  • High temporal resolution resolves fast power transients

  • Substantial onboard storage eliminates frequent data offload requirements during extended measurements


Typical Applications



  • Optical component characterization and validation

  • Multi-wavelength signal power profiling

  • Polarization-dependent loss (PDL) evaluation

  • Dynamic optical signal monitoring and analysis


Compatibility & Integration The AQ2200-211 integrates with AQ2200 series frame controllers including AQ2201 and AQ2202 models. An AQ2200-202 Interface Module may be required for certain system configurations. Direct connection to USB enables data logging and system integration without external acquisition hardware.
