Numerical Aperture Conversion Fiber
The 735384 NA Conversion Fiber is the accessory for the AQ6360/AQ6370 series optical spectrum analyzer.
The NA Conversion Fiber improves the stability of the optical level measurement of the optical spectrum analyzer.
What is the numerical aperture of an optical fiber?
What is meant by 'numerical aperture?' The numerical aperture is the range of angles at which an optical fiber can transmit its beam. It's related to refraction and the beam spread angle.
Numerical Aperture Formula
Numerical Aperture (NA)=n×sin(µ) or n×sin(α)
Role of NA Conversion Fiber
The NA Conversion Fiber is only applicable to the free space optical input structure on the AQ6360 and AQ6370 series optical spectrum analyzer.
By connecting a GI 50 or GI 62.5 optical fiber with a relatively large NA to the NA Conversion Fiber, the NA Conversion Fiber reduces the loss that occurs at the input and improves the measurement dynamic range during passive device measurements and the stability of optical level measurements during active device measurements.
Connect this product to the optical input of the applicable optical spectrum analyzer.
