This unit
The EXFO IQ-5523-ST-89 PMD Analyzer is a precision instrument for measuring Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and related optical parameters in fiber and component characterization. It delivers high-accuracy PMD assessments critical for signal integrity validation in high-speed optical transmission systems, operating across laboratory and production environments.
Technical Specifications
PMD Measurement Range- 0.05 ps to 35 ps at 1550 nm
- 0.06 ps to 35 ps at 1310 nm
- Extended range option: 0.05 ps to 200 ps
- Can measure PMD of 0 ps; calculated values below 0.1 ps and interpolated values above 115 ps are possible Measurement Performance
- Measurement speed: typically under 15 seconds for complete PMD diagnosis (some models achieve 5 seconds)
- Measurement method: Interferometric, per TIA/IEC standard FOTP-124
- Accuracy: deviation from linearity with 95% (2σ) confidence for birefringent fiber, referenced to EXFO standards Physical Characteristics
