SKU: OPMP
The OPM Series Optical Power Monitoring Modules are designed for optical network monitoring and laboratory testing applications, offering high measurement accuracy, a wide dynamic range, high-speed operation, and cost-effective performance. The modules support both direct optical power measurement and inline monitoring using a 3% optical tap, allowing continuous signal monitoring while maintaining low insertion loss in the main transmission path. The inline configuration supports high-speed optical signals up to 100 GHz without interrupting normal transmission. Each channel features a programmable alarm function that automatically sends an alert to the host controller when the measured optical power falls below a preset threshold, enabling real-time network monitoring and fault detection. The OPM Series is fully compatible with Agiltron’s network-ready Carrier Service Platform, available in 1U, 2U, 4U, and 6U rackmount configurations. For laboratory applications, the system can function as a high-density, multichannel optical power meter, supporting simultaneous, real-time monitoring of up to 250 optical channels. All channel measurements can be displayed and managed through a single graphical user interface (GUI) on a host computer. Standard communication interfaces include USB, RS-232, and Ethernet, with GPIB available as an option. A comprehensive command set is provided to simplify integration with customer-developed software and automated test environments. Customized hardware configurations, software interfaces, and application-specific development services are also available. For applications requiring faster response times and reduced communication latency, performance can be further optimized using a Linux-based controller or executing predefined measurement and control sequences directly on the module’s embedded controller. In this configuration, the host computer only needs to issue high-level commands such as start, pause, and repeat, minimizing communication overhead and improving overall system efficiency.
