This unit
The EXFO IQS-1700 is a optical power meter module engineered for integration into the EXFO IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System and IQS-500 Intelligent Test System. It delivers fast, accurate optical power measurements across demanding R&D and manufacturing environments through a modular architecture supporting one or two OHS-1700 Optical Heads for simultaneous dual-channel measurements and real-time power ratio calculations.
Technical Specifications
Dynamic Range: 80 dB
Stabilization Time: 300 µs
Continuous-Mode Peak Acquisition Speed: 5208 samples per second
Interchangeable calibrated optical heads for cross-station deployment without accuracy loss
Key Features
Dual-Channel Capability: Supports simultaneous measurements on multiple channels with real-time power ratio calculations, ideal for optical source referencing and inter-channel power comparison
Multiple Optical Head Options:
IQS-1712X/1722X: GeX front-panel detectors; high-power measurements to 25 dBm (one or two detectors)
OHS-1713W-PL: InGaAs detector, 3 mm detector size
OHS-1713-UH: InGaAs and integrating cavity detector; Ultra-High-Power™ capable of safe measurements to 37 dBm
IQS-17X3 models: InGaAs front-panel detectors; sensitivity to -87 dBm
Measurement Modes:
Absolute Mode: Direct optical power measurement
Reference Mode: Relative power measurement with user-defined reference level
Min/Max Tracking: Captures minimum and maximum power values over defined periods for PDL or source power drift analysis
Graph Mode: Real-time user-configurable display with up to four simultaneous curves
Graphical User Interface for intuitive control of meter settings and acquisition launching
Typical Applications Research and development environments requiring component characterization, manufacturing test floors demanding high-throughput power verification, and optical system qualification where simultaneous multi-channel measurement and power trending are critical.
Compatibility & Integration Designed for seamless integration into EXFO IQS-600 and IQS-500 systems. Accepts OHS-1700 series optical heads with individual factory calibration, enabling field interchangeability across test stations and modules.
