The Agilent 81002 FF Integrating Sphere is an accessory for the
Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter, Agilent 8163A Lightwave
Measurement System, Agilent 8166A Lightwave Multichannel System,
ａnd the HP 8153A Lightwave Multimeter. It can be used with all Agilent
Technology Optical Heads and all HP Optical Heads.
The Integrating Sphere is compatible with all connector adapters and
bare fiber adapters Agilent 81000xx, which can be used with these
optical heads.
Connections to the Agilent 81002 FF Integrating Sphere
The Agilent 81002 FF Integrating Sphere has three main advantages, it
allows measurements with:
• high optical power levels,
• large emission sources, either widely diverging point sources (high
numerical aperture (NA)) or light sources with large beam diameters,
• polarized optical sources; it scrambles the input polarization.
The Agilent 81002 FF Integrating Sphere allows the measurement of high
optical power levels up to 10 W (+40 dBm) due to its typical optical
attenuation of 40 dB. The optical loss of the integrating sphere shifts the
dynamic range of a connected optical head by +40 dB to higher power
