This unit
The Ando AQ2730 OPM Unit is a precision optical power meter engineered for quantitative analysis of optical signals across a broad wavelength range. It delivers high measurement accuracy with minimal polarization dependence, making it suitable for R&D, fiber manufacturing, and network deployment and maintenance environments where reliable optical characterization is critical.
Technical Specifications
- Wavelength Range: 750 to 1800 nm
- Power Range (CW Light): −60 to +10 dBm
- Power Range (Chopped Light): −70 to +7 dBm
- Noise Floor (CW Light): −53 dBm or less
- Noise Floor (Chopped Light): −63 dBm or less
Key Features
- Low polarization dependence minimizes measurement variability across signal orientations
- Supports both continuous-wave and chopped-light measurement modes
- Wide dynamic range accommodates weak and moderate-power optical signals
- Intuitive operation reduces setup complexity in field and laboratory settings
Typical Applications
- Optical component testing and characterization
- Fiber-optic network installation and commissioning
- Optical power monitoring during manufacturing processes
- Laboratory research requiring multiwavelength optical analysis
Compatibility & Integration The AQ2730 integrates with the Ando sensor ecosystem via dedicated optical head interfaces. Compatible sensor units include AQ2731, AQ2732, AQ2733, AQ2734, AQ2735, AQ2741, AQ2742, and AQ2743. Standard connector adapters support FC, SC, ST, DIN, and HMS-10/A configurations. Optional GP-IB interface capability enables remote instrument control and automated data logging within larger measurement systems.
