How to select the wavelength for CWDM optical power meter testing

Home / How to select the wavelength for CWDM optical power meter testing

CWDM uses a grid based on 20 nm spacing, using channels centered between 1271 nm and 1611 nm. Wave Division Multiplexing is the idea of combining (or multiplexing) multiple wavelengths into a single signal that is then transmitted over a single fiber. OSICS DFB CWDM are high-performance distributed feedback lasers featuring internal and external modulation, precise tunability and exceptional wavelength stability. PON, RFoG and Cell tower Backhaul NetworksUnlike dense WDM, CWDM has a channel spacing of 20nm and can support up to 18 wavelengths.

Testing CWDM in Deep Fiber Applications

1) Check for Wavelength and Power Levels – You''ll use a CWDM power meter (aka channel checker), such as the VIAVI OCC-55 for this. Simply connect the tester onto the fiber and scan for present

How to select Optical Power Meter?

If more accurate optical power value is required, it is suggested to calibrate the power meter to the same wavelengths that the devices are running one before

CWDM Optical Power Meter

It measures and monitors optical power and attenuation value of 18 channels from wavelength 1270nm to 1610nm wavelength. All calibrated wavelengths will be tested simultaneously and all test results
