RM3 SERIES BACKREFLECTION METER

USER’S MANUAL

3.Press the λ key to select the wavelength at which the calibration check is to be performed. Choose either wavelength, as you will check both.

4.Measure the power from the output of the calibrated jumper, using a high-accuracy, calibrated power meter.

5.Clean the output connector of the calibrated jumper, and connect it to the detector on the front panel of the RM meter. The value displayed on the RM meter must match the value measured by the power meter to within ±0.3 dBm.

If the values do not match to within ±0.3 dBm, adjust the value of User CAL:

1.Use a screwdriver or an appropriately narrow object to press CAL. The last User CAL value stored is displayed on the meter.

2.Press and hold the Store ID key to scroll to the required value in 0.01 dBm increments.

3.Press the CAL key to store the User CAL value, and return the meter to the power measurement display.

4.Repeat the calibration adjustment procedure (steps 1 to 3) for the second wavelength.

Maintaining the Meter

Caution

Devices with malfunctioning lasers must be returned to the manufacturer for repair.

Cleaning the Unit

1.Unplug the unit from the line power.

2.Clean the enclosure with a damp cloth.

3.DO NOT plug the unit back until it is completely dry.

Cleaning the Connector Ends

Clean all connector ends with a lint-free tissue and alcohol before every mating. See the Cleaning Connectors section.

1.Loosen the retaining screws of the connector panel, and remove the panel carefully to access the internal connectors (Figure 10).

This feature allows users to obtain precise measurements across a broad spectrum of optical signals, which is crucial in environments where signal strength can vary significantly. The analyzer is designed to handle both high-intensity signals and weak optical events, ensuring that no detail is missed during analysis.

The RM3750 incorporates a high-resolution detection mechanism that enables it to distinguish closely spaced wavelengths. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in applications where wavelength spacing is minimal, such as in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. The high resolution also allows for accurate characterization of spectral features, including signal peaks and noise.

In addition to its impressive measurement capabilities, the RM3750 supports advanced analysis and real-time monitoring. Users can visualize spectral data through an intuitive graphical interface, which aids in the quick interpretation of results. The instrument is equipped with real-time data processing capabilities, allowing users to observe changes in optical signals as they occur, a critical feature for dynamic environments like live signal monitoring.

The JDS Uniphase RM3750 is not only about hardware; it also comes with an array of software tools designed to enhance functionality and ease of use. These tools allow for automated measurements, data logging, and integration with other laboratory instruments. Moreover, the ability to export data in various formats facilitates easy sharing and analysis across platforms.

Another notable characteristic of the RM3750 is its compact design and robust build quality. This ensures that it can operate effectively in demanding laboratory conditions while being portable enough for field applications.

In conclusion, the JDS Uniphase RM3750 optical spectrum analyzer stands out for its combinations of wide dynamic range, high resolution, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly software integration. These characteristics make it an exceptional tool for professionals in telecommunications and optical research, enabling them to conduct more accurate and insightful measurements.
