This unit
The JDS Uniphase TB9 JDSU TB9166-1FA1 is a tunable grating filter engineered for precision wavelength selection in single-mode fiber-based component and subsystem testing. Grating-based optical filtering delivers superior wavelength isolation compared to Fabry-Perot etalons or interference filters, with bandwidth as narrow as 0.25 nm @ -3 dB and high spectral rejection. The instrument excels at ASE filtering in EDFA applications and removal of spontaneous emission from DFB and tunable lasers during characterization of wavelength-selective components.

JDS Uniphase/JDSU TB9166-1FA1 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase/JDSU TB9166-1FA1. Calibration covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common JDS Uniphase/JDSU TB9166-1FA1 faults: motor and gear mechanism wear (attenuation steps or loss of smooth control), optical port contamination, EEPROM calibration data corruption. Most common faults are motor or gear mechanism wear on variable attenuators causing attenuation steps or loss of smooth control, optical port contamination reducing dynamic range, and EEPROM calibration data corruption on digitally controlled models.
