The FPM-8220 Fiber Optic Power Meter combines accurate, repeatable power measurements with low polarization dependence in a simple, easy to use instrument for R&D or manufacturing testing of fiber optic components and systems.

Interchangeable fiber optic power measurements heads deliver repeatable results for measurements up to +30 dBm over a wavelength range of 800 nm to 1650 nm. The FMH-8715 and FMH-87107 fiber optic power measurement heads use integrating sphere technology to provide virtual insensitivity to polarization state or fiber orientation. The FMH-8705 detector provides easy to use measurements with wide dynamic measurement range from -85 dBm to +1.5 dBm.

Connectorized, bare fiber, and ferrule only measurements are possible with a variety of adapters. ILX’s patented BF-820 Bare Fiber Holder provides easy fiber positioning for repeatable bare fiber measurements.

Designed for automated systems, the FPM-8220 combines precision measurement with USB 2.0 and GPIB IEEE 488.2 computer interfaces. For virtual instrument programming, LabView instrument drivers are available free of charge and can be downloaded from the ILX website.
