Graphical display of optical power spectrum

A graphical display of optical power versus wavelength is shown from the start wavelength value to the stop wavelength value. The start wavelength value is shown in the upper- left corner of the graphical display, and the stop wavelength value is shown in the upper- right corner of the graphical display. The power scale is a fixed dB scale, with +10 dBm at the display top and –53 dBm at the display bottom. The power scale is not affected by the Power Offset value. In most cases, the noise floor will be visible if the total input power is greater than about –5 dBm.

The Agilent 86120C graphical display.

The Peak Threshold value is displayed as a dotted line. All peaks above this dotted line are displayed in the List by Wavelength and List by Power modes. All peaks below this line are not displayed. Adjust the Peak Threshold value with the Setup key, and the THRSHLD softkey.

The wavelength limit start and stop wavelength values are used for the graphical display even if the wavelength limit function is off.

The graphical display cannot be printed.

To see the graphical display

1Press the List by WL or List by Power key.

2Press the GRAPH softkey.

3To exit the graphical display, press any softkey.

For WLIMitOFF, searching starts at 1650 nm and progresses towards 1270 nm. For WLIMitON, searching starts at WLIMitSTART and progresses toward WLIMitSTOP. These peak values are then placed into the corrected data buffer. Each peak value consists of an amplitude and wavelength measurement. Amplitude and wavelength correction factors are applied to this data Commands are grouped in subsystems Refer to “FPERotSTATE” on Table 2-4.
