Agilent / HP 71401C

The Agilent 71401C is a lightwave signal analyzer.

The 71401C combines HP's high-performance microwave and RF spectrum analyzers with a sensitive wide-bandwidth optical receiver module. This module will produce calibrated instrumentation for characterizing semi-conductor lasers, laser transmitters, optical modulators, and detectors. Featuring bandwidths from 100 kHz to 2.9 GHz and wavelength operation from 1200 to 1600 nm or, with Option 850, from 750 to 870 nm, the 71401C can easily and accurately charaterizes lasers and devices for modulation capability. It can make measurements of relative intensity noise (RIN), linewidth, and modulation performance with an analog or digital format on a single-mode optical fiber. The 71401C is part of the modular measurement system (MMS). This system provides a way to add additional capability to your lightwave signal analyzer, such as optical spectrum analyzer modules and tracking generator modules.
