SANTEC’s latest Multichannel Optical Power Meter (model: MPM-210) delivers upgrades in measurement speed and dynamic range.
Product Name: Multichannel Optical Power Meter Product Model: MPM-210
Santec, a leading design and manufacturer of tunable lasers, optical instruments, OCT products, and fiber-optic components, has developed the new Multi-Port Power Meter (MPM-210). The MPM-210 offers greatly improved performance and function when compared to santec’s current power meter options. This enhanced functionality allows the MPM-210 to be used in many applications, ranging from production environments to R&D. The new MPM-210 multi-port optical power meter is also command compatible with the previous MPM-200 model, so switching to the new MPM-210 is as simple as swapping out your devices.
New Product Highlights 1. High speed measurement ・ 15 times faster data transfer than the previous MPM-200. Combining the MPM-210 and a santec TSL-Series laser equipped with a power monitor output enables faster measurement. ・ 2 memory buffers per port , Up to 1 million logging sampling points per port Reading the current measurement data and starting a new measurement and can be done simultaneously, shortening the time for repeated measurements. ・ Fast measurement (100kHz) with high resolution
2. High dynamic range (logging mode) ・ 1.5 times higher measurement dynamic range The measurement dynamic range with one sweep is typically 50 dB or more. The input power range has been expanded to -80 to + 10 dBm, and the measurement range has also been extended.
3. A variety of mountable modules depending on the application ・ MPM-211 (Power meter module 4 ports) ・ MPM-212 (Power meter module 2 ports and 2 ports analog output) The analog output function outputs a 0 to 2V analog voltage signal proportional to the optical power. This feature is ideal for fast measurement without using communication. ・ MPM-213 (Current meter module 4 ports) This module is suitable for measuring the performance of fiber optics components using transceiver- like photodiodes (ROSA/Coherent receiver, etc) and an optical channel monitor.
The MPM-210 can simultaneously measure up to 20 ports (4 ports per MPM-211 module) very fast with high resolution.
Release date: 1/1/2018
We are proud to announce that we will be showing the new MPM-210 at this year’s OFC2018 (The Optical Networking and Communication Conference & Exhibition), Booth 2738, San Diego Convention Center, March 13-15.
