along the guide rail until it clicks. (See Fig. 4-9)
Either a light source unit or an OPM unit may be set for channel A, but only
an OPM unit is settable for channel B.
NOTE: Do not connect any unit other than the designated ones to this
apparatus. (Connecting a wrong unit may result in causing an
apparatus failure.)
2) Sensor setti ng
Each sensor to be used must be connected to an AQ-2109 OPM unit as

follows:

o The measurement parameters refer to the parameters set as the current conditions for
measurement. They are stored in the measurement parameter area. The contents of the
measurement parameter area can be changed as required. See (a) "(PRMTRJ setting" for
more information.
o The SETUP parameters are the parameters prepared in the SETUP
parameter area to be readily usable when required. Up to 10 sets of

them can be stored in the SETUP parameter area. If parameters to be
frequently used are stored in the SETUP parameter area, they can be
taken out as required so that they need not be newly set every time
they are required.
Parameter set 0 represents the initialized parameters. Parameter sets

1-10 may each be assigned a label using (LABELl. See (b) "(SETUP)
setting" for more information.

o The GP-IB address can be changed only by the use of (PRMTRl.
o The measurement parameter area is made of ROM whose contents are

retained even after the apparatus is turned off. When measurement is
started after the apparatus is turned on, the measurement parameters
that have been retained are used as long as they are consistent with
the corresponding unit plugged to the apparatus. If, at such a time,
they are inconsistent with the connected unit, for example, due to a
unit change made after the last setting of measurement parameters;
the contents of the measurement parameter area are initialized.
(a) (PRMTRl setting
o The measurement conditions to be set for the unit set for each of
channels A and B are stored as the measurement parameters in the
measurement parameter area.
o The (PRMTRl function works for the parameters that are consistent
with the specifications of the unit set for the corresponding channeL. It
is not effective for the settings inconsistent with the unit
speci fi cati ons.
o When the apparatus is turned on after the unit set for a channel was
changed while it was off, the contents of the measurement parameter
area for the channel are initialized to be consistent with the unit
currently set for the channeL.
o The measurement parameters can also be stored in the SETUP
parameter area. (See (2)-(b).)
o The measurement parameters that can be set for each channel using
the (PRMTRl function are dependent on the specifications of the unit
set for the channeL.
o Measurement parameter setting procedure
o Every time the cursor is moved by the use of (~ ) or ( ~), the function
corresponding to the -= F4:: key changes.

For a parameter whose value is fixed, (NEXT) is displayed. For a parameter
whose value can arbitrarily be set, the parameter name is displayed.
Examples of measurement parameter display are shown below. The
measurement parameters that can be displayed are listed in Table 4-8 and

Table 4-9)
NOTE: For back-lighting of the display screen, an EL lamp whose life is about 3,000
hours is used. It is recommended that the lamp be kept off as much as
possible when the apparatus is used for long hours.
(b) (SETUP) setting
o The (SETUP) function enables up to 10 sets of measurement conditions to

be preset as parameters for each of the OPM and OPT units. (Such
parameters are called SETUP parameters.)
o If "0" is entered using (SETUP), the initialization mode is specified to cause

the parameters for the currently set unit to be initialized. The initialized
parameters are entered in the measurement parameter area.
o Each of the 10 sets of SETUP parameters can be assigned a label )consisting
of up to 16 characters). When, for example, SETUP parameter set 1 is

selected for use, its contents are loaded in the measurement parameter
area and measurement is started based on the selected set of parameters.
o If the parameters loaded in the measurement parameter area are not
consistent with the unit that has been set, an error indication is displayed
(see Subsection 4.6). The error status can be reset by changing the
measurement parameters using -CPRMTR;; or by initializing them by
means of specifying "0" using -cSETUP;;.
The values of the initialized parameters are listed in Table 4-10.

This subfunction is useful, for example, in measuring the optical loss in a multicore optical fiber.
The difference in optical power between the end connected to a light source of an optical fiber and
the other end of the optical fiber can be displayed by one key operation using this subfunction.
A system for measurement to be made using this subfunction is shown in Figure 4-16.
If a light source unit and an OPM unit are connected to this apparatus, it enables optical loss
measurement to be made with ease. (See 5.6.2)

5.6 OPTICAL FIBER LOSS MEASUREMENT
In optical fiber loss measurement, how much the optical power emitted by a light
source is attenuated (optical power loss) while it propagates along an optical fiber
is measured.
5.6.1 Optical Fiber loss Measurement
Optical loss measurement is made either by the cutback method or by the

insertion method. Of the two methods, the cutback method which enables
accurate measurement with high repeatability will be explained in the
following.
Since a light source can be set in this apparatus, it is possible to make optical
loss measurement using this apparatus without requiring any other
instrument.
Figure 5-2 shows an optical loss measurement system.

Changing the light source wavelength to 1.5 lm
and measuring P2 in this stage enables optica loss
measurement at two wavelengths.

(f Cut the optical fiber

with the dummy fiber
and measure optical
power output P, at the
cut.
Optical loss = P,- P2 (dB)
In the case of relative

value measurement, the
sensor wavelength
sensitivity correction need
not be adjusted.
Points:
o If the c: F3:: key is pressed for (DREF) following step 8 described above. the
optical loss measurement can directly be read. See Table 5-1.
o It is possible to store measured opticalloss values and take them out later.
(See 4.4.3-( 10).
o Measurement at different wavelengths can be facilitated by setting
(SETUP) parameters for each wavelength beforehand; since such
preparation makes it unnecessary to repeat parameter settings every time
the wavelength is changed. See 4.4.2-(2)-(b).
Measurement example:
If optical power P, is -35 dBm and P2 is -45 dBm, the optical loss is as listed in
Table 5-1.

5.6.2 Optical Fiber Loss Measurement Utilizing Memory
The memory function of this apparatus makes it possible to temporarily store

measured values to facilitate, for example, multicore optical fiber loss
measurement in which many measurements are to be made.
How the memory function can be utilized in making measurement as
described in 5.6.1 will be explained in the following.

5.7 STABILITY MEASUREMENT
Optical stability measurement can be made either by the direct method or by
using a system incorporating an optical directional coupler as shown in Figure 5-3.
In the latter method, the coupler is used to monitor the optical power output of
the light source and make up for fluctuations of the optical output in measuring
the optical stability ofthe device under test. This method enables highly accurate
stabi Iity measurement.

SECTION 6
CIRCUITRY AND CONSTRUCTION
6.1 INTRODUCTON
This section contains general information on the circuitry and construction of this
apparatus.
6.2 CIRCUITRY
The schematic circuit diagram of this apparatus is shown in Figure 6-1.
In this apparatus, photoelectric conversion is made by the sensor section. The
converted signal is amplified by a variable-gain amplifier circuit. It subsequently
undergoes analog-to-digital conversion and is displayed in five digits.
6.2.1 Sensor Section
The sensor section incorporates a Si, Ge, or InGaAs photodiode used as a

photoelectric conversion sensor to convert the input optical power into a
proportional magnitude of electrical signaL.

It also includes a ROM used to adjust the wavelength sensitivity of the sensor
itself and an adjuster for absolute wavelength calibration.
The AQ-2715 and AQ-2716 sensors are designed to internally make optical
chopping at 270 Hz to achieve a highly dynamic measuring range of -90 to 0
dBm.
6.2.2 Variable-Gain Amplifier Section
The variable-gain amplifier section of this apparatus comprises a d.c. amplifier

circuit for CW light, an a.c. amplifier circuit for 270 Hz chopped light, and a
filter and amplifier circuit.
(1) D.C. amplifier circuit
This circuit includes an operational amplifier and an active LPF, and

controls the gain according to the incident optical power.
(2) A.c. amplifier circuit
This circuit made of an operational amplifier and an active BPF controls the
gain according to the incident optical power.
(3) Filter and rectifier circuit
This circuit comprises an active BPF and a linear detector circuit. It outputs
a d.c. signal which is input to the analog-to-digital conversion circuit.
6.2.3 Control and Display Section
(1) Control section
The amplified signal coming out of each unit undergoes analog-to-digital

conversion in the AID conversion circuit. The converted signal then enters
the CPU circuit where it is converted into a linear or logarithmic signaL.
The processed measurement data can be transmitted out of the apparatus

via the display section and GP-IB.
(2) Display section
The display section comprises a display circuit used to display the
measurements taken on channels A and B and status information.
6.3 CONSTRUCTION
The external view of this apparatus is shown in Drawing ASD-61740-1.

7.3.2 Periodical Inspection

Periodical inspections are effective in obtaining optimum performance from
this apparatus throughout its life and finding malfunctioning elements, if any,
before trouble occurs. Inspection periods are determined according to the
conditions of operation and storage.

The periodical inspections include mechanical inspections, performance tests,
adjustment and calibration.
Though this apparatus is designed to give stable and reliable service, it is
recommended that periodical inspection be performed twice a year.
NOTE:
Do not tamper with the circuit parts of the apparatus unless the
apparatus is obviously at fault or fails to meet the specifications.
