OLS 2 - Optical Light Source

Features:

Rugged, Portable Unit
Designed for Field Use
1310, 1550, 1625 nm and Dual Wavelengths
Modulated 2 kHz or CW
Adjustable Output

The OLS 2 laser source series offers excellent stability and portability for accurate fibre optic testing. Four versions of the OLS 2 are offered for measurements at 1310 nm, 1550 nm, 1625 nm, and dual wavelength (1310/1550 nm). These compact units operate in either continuous wave (CW) mode or 2 kHz modulated mode.

With an output power of -10 dBm, the OLS 2 will provide in excess of 50 dB range when used with Noyes Fibre Systems optical power meters.

The OLS 2 operates on disposable batteries or AC adapter. A Low battery indication warns the user that battery replacement is necessary. The optical output is via a top panel FC, SC, or ST connector. The output may be equipped with other style connectors upon request.

When used with an optical power meter, the OLS 2 laser source provides an inexpensive alternative to higher priced loss test sets. The OLS 2 may be substituted for terminal equipment in the central office or head-end to provide a stable output for loss measurements.

For singlemode applications, such as Telecom or CATV, the OLS 2 may be coupled with an optical power meter as a test kit to perform optical loss tests at 1310 or 1550nm.

In the modulation mode, the OLS 2 applies a 2 kHz tone into the fibre. This signal is detected by the OFI-200B, optical fibre identifier, to isolate specific fibres in a bundle prior to splicing or rerouting.
