FIBERPRO ER2300 Polarization Extinction Ratio Meter
The FIBERPRO ER2300 Polarization Extinction Ratio Meter is designed for accurate measurement of polarization extinction ratio (PER), polarization angle, and optical power. It is used to characterize polarization-maintaining fiber, PM patch cords, and other PM optical devices where polarization alignment and extinction performance are critical.
The ER2300 supports a wide operating wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1640 nm and provides a PER dynamic range up to 50 dB, depending on input power level. It also includes a minimum PER holding function and relative power monitoring function, making it practical for alignment, setup, and test applications involving PM fiber and polarization-sensitive optical components.
