This unit

The EXFO PM-1613W is a fiber optic optical power meter engineered for precision measurements across the 800 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. Built around a 3 mm InGaAs detector, this instrument delivers fast stabilization and high sampling rates for demanding field and laboratory applications. It excels at characterizing both active and passive optical components with exceptional repeatability, particularly suited for in-process testing before connectorization.
