This unit
The Ando AQ2752 Sensor Unit is a handheld optical power meter designed for precise measurement of optical signals across telecommunications wavelengths. Built around a 1 mm InGaAs photodetector, it delivers ±5% accuracy across a wide dynamic range and supports both continuous wave and chopped light measurement modes. The unit operates independently or integrates with Ando optical multimeters and test systems, functioning as a standalone power meter or as part of multi-function loss and return loss measurement configurations.
Technical Specifications
- Wavelength Range: 750 nm to 1700 nm
- Photodetector: InGaAs, 1 mm diameter
- Power Range (CW Light): −80 dBm to +10 dBm
- Power Range (Chopped Light): −80 dBm to +7 dBm
- Measurement Accuracy: ±5%
- Measurement Modes: Continuous Wave (CW), chopped light at 270 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz
- Calibration Factor: 5 nm step correction for wavelength sensitivity
- Range Selection: Automatic or fixed (up/down)
- Weight: Approximately 450 g
Key Features
- Field-portable handheld design for laboratory and on-site use
- Flexible power options: AC adapter, AA cells, or optional Ni-Cd battery pack
- Selectable measurement modes accommodate both steady-state and modulated optical signals
- Optical connectors sold separately; compatible with FC and SC types with optional adapters
- AQ9438 FC High Return Loss Connector Adapter available for single-mode fiber (10/125 µm) with ≥40 dB return loss and ≤0.2 dB insertion loss
Typical Applications
- Optical fiber loss measurement
- Free-space beam power measurement
- Optical component and connector characterization
- Network diagnostics and fault localization
- Return loss measurement for optical connectors and components
- Research and development in optical communications
Compatibility & Integration The AQ2752 interfaces directly with the Ando AQ2150 and AQ2150A Optical Multimeters. It is hot-swappable with light source and return loss units, enabling flexible configuration as an optical power meter, loss test set, or return loss measurement system. Compatible with AQ2140 frames when specific AQ2141 expansion modules are disconnected.
