dBm Optics reckons its Model 4100 optical power meter features an unparalleled combination of speed, accuracy and repeatability - all at an affordable cost. The Model 4100 offers 100,000 readings per second, NIST traceability and a dynamic range of greater than 100dB. A USB Flash memory drive and large colour touch-screen display enhance operation, analysis and ease of use.
The 4100 combines 100kreading/s optical power meter modules with a powerful processor that can handle this exceptional measurement speed.
When operated with two channels, each channel still measures at 100kreading/s.
The 4100 captures an extended range of signal levels at a single sensitivity setting, enabling wide dynamic range within a single optical sweep.
The 4100 optical power meter has a dynamic range of better than 65dB at full speed - eliminating the delay that similar meters suffer from range transitions required by lower instantaneous range.
When used with the Model 202 optical power meters, the polarisation dependency of the power measurements is less than 0.0015dB, thus reducing a significant source of measurement inaccuracy.
The 4100 provides repeatability of +/-0.005dB for most typical connector insertion variations including +/-1mm ranges in the x and y dimensions and a -1 to +3mm range in the z dimension.
The 4 x 6in VGA colour display affords excellent visualisation of measurements directly on the power meter without the need to export data to a PC.
Trends, drifts, noise, and perturbations are all clearly indicated on the graphical display.
The removable USB Flash memory drive makes transferring data to Excel or a mathematics package very simple.
Remote data transfer via Ethernet or GPIB are also straightforward: connect to a network and retrieve data from any PC on the network (even to a remote location via VPN).
