Amplified Lightwave Converter DC 15GHz, 1200-1600nm, with option: 012 = FC/PC connector interface (2.5mm)

Agilent/HP (now Keysight) 11982A is a wide-bandwidth, sensitive O/E converter for characterizing lightwave systems and components.

It converts an optical signal to an electrical signal and combines a PIN photodetector for the optical to electrical conversation with a low-noise dc-coupled preamplifier to amplifier the electrical signal and create a general-purpose front end.

It covers wavelengths from 1200 to 1600 nm and bandwidths from dc to 15 GHz (optical). With 300 V/W conversion gain and 0.05 percent input optical reflections, it significantly improves the sensitivity of the measurement system. The converter comes with a calibration chart of instrument-specific data for making corrected frequency response measurements.
