ILX Lightwave Corporation (Bozeman, MT) has introduced the FPM-8220 Fiber Optic Power Meter and FMH-8715, FMH-87107, and FMH-8705 Fiber Optic Measurement Heads. The FPM-8220 Fiber Optic Power Meter replaces the popular FPM-8210 Fiber Optic Power Meter and offers improved accuracy, interchangeable fiber optic measurement heads, and both USB and IEEE-488 interfaces. The FMH-8700 Series Fiber Optic Measurement Heads can make precise measurements up to +30 dBm over a wavelength range of 800nm to 1650nm. Two new integrating sphere-based measurements heads cover a power measurement range of 90 dB with ±0.02 dB linearity for connectorized, bare fiber and bare ferrule measurements. For lower power measurements, a detector only measurement head covers a measurement range of -75 dBm to +1.5 dBm.
