This unit

The ILX Lightwave MPS-8035 is a dual-channel fiber optic source engineered for precision testing and characterization of optical components and systems. It delivers stable, accurate optical power output in laboratory and manufacturing environments. The instrument employs precision laser diode temperature and current control electronics to maintain output stability across extended measurement intervals.


Technical Specifications

The MPS-8035 architecture supports dual independent optical channels with configurable wavelength capability. Output power stability is specified at better than ±0.005 dB over 15 minutes and ±0.03 dB over 24 hours. The instrument accommodates installed modules or configurations for specific wavelength operation, including WDM C-Band and L-Band applications.

Key Features



  • Dual-channel independent operation

  • Precision laser diode temperature and current control

  • High output power stability (±0.005 dB / 15 min; ±0.03 dB / 24 hr)

  • Configurable wavelength modules for WDM applications

  • GPIB interface for automated test system integration


Typical Applications The MPS-8035 is suited for optical component testing, power meter calibration, and precision laboratory measurements where stable, dual-wavelength sourcing is required.


Compatibility & Integration The instrument integrates into automated test systems via GPIB connectivity. Module-based wavelength configuration enables adaptation to specific C-Band and L-Band measurement requirements. Note: This product is listed as obsolete by ILX Lightwave (Newport). Manufacturer technical support, repair, and calibration services are no longer available.
