Precise reflectometric measurements

Anritsu scatterometers have always stood out for the accuracy of their measurements. The MT9085 series provides high accuracy over a wide temperature range and is maintained over time, throughout the life of the instruments.

The MT9085 reflectometers have a maximum number of reflectogram points of 150 thousand, a distance measurement resolution of up to 5 cm, and a loss and reflection resolution of 0.001 dB. Loss measurement error does not exceed 0.05 dB/dB. Other measurement errors in different operating modes of reflectometers are described in detail in technical documentation (below on this page).

This screenshot of an Anritsu MT9085 Series OTDR shows a 392 meter optical fiber trace showing two reflective events (connectors) and one bad splice between them. Loss on poor welding is 1.726 dB, and its reflection is -57.062 dB. Losses are measured using the exact four point method.

Reflectometers Anritsu MT9085 provide high reliability of measurements.

 

The MT9085 reflectometers automatically detect all irregularities present in the fiber and record them in the event table. These inhomogeneities are usually caused by: optical connectors, fiber welds, macrobends, and various defects. For each found event, the reflectometer shows: the distance to the event, its loss and reflection, as well as several additional parameters. Events with poor performance, such as high reflection or high loss, are highlighted in red in the table.

Anritsu MT9085 Series Fiber Visualizer Mode

Every Anritsu MT9085 Series OTDR comes standard with an optical link schematic mode called "Fiber Visualizer". This mode is very convenient for beginners, because the reflectometer itself selects the optimal testing parameters and in a matter of seconds builds a block diagram of the events found in the tested fiber (connectors, splitters, splices, etc.).

That is, as a result of the measurement, you get not only a fiber reflectogram, but also a visual graphical representation of the main elements of this fiber. Each event detected in the fiber is checked against the pass/fail criteria, and defective events are highlighted in red. After that, you can generate a comprehensive PDF report that completes the testing process.

The Fiber Visualizer is very helpful for beginners as it makes it easier to understand and interpret measurement results. Below are some screen shots of the MT9085 reflectometer showing how this mode works.

In Fiber Viewer mode, the MT9085 OTDR shows the optical link in a clear block diagram.

Anritsu MT9085 Series OTDRs in Fiber Visualizer mode fully support PON networks. Events corresponding to splitters with different division ratios are correctly recognized and displayed. This screenshot shows a branch of the PON network, in which two dividers are installed with division ratios of 1 to 8 and 1 to 4. The position and losses of each divider are measured and presented in the diagram. Please note that the classic trace of this link is also present in the lower right part of the screen, which is convenient for experienced workers.

Analysis of the purity and quality of optical connectors using a video microscope

The Anritsu MT9085 OTDR series supports connection of a video microscope with a magnification of 400 times (model G0306B). This microscope is connected to one of the USB connectors of the device and does not require additional options for its operation. The G0306B Microscope comes standard with several attachments to test the purity and quality of common types of optical connectors.

The left side of this photo shows the appearance of the G0306B microscope connected to the Anritsu MT9085 reflectometer, and the right side of the microscope itself with a set of interchangeable nozzles and a soft shipping case.

When using the G0306B microscope, the Anritsu MT9085 reflectometer can not only show the surface of the connector and save its image. The list of standard features includes automatic checking of the connector surface for defects and scratches in accordance with international standards. IEC 61300-3-35 (IEC61300-3-35). The analysis is performed according to the standardized "Pass" / "fail" criteria, which is very convenient for quick certification of all network elements, as well as finding and replacing problem connectors.

This screenshot of the MT9085 screen shows the surface of a contaminated optical connector with the results of automatic analysis. The connector was recognized as defective, since 203 contaminations were found in the contact zone of the connectors, with a diameter of 250 microns.

Also the Anritsu G0306B microscope can be used with a conventional computer. To do this, you need to connect it to a free USB port on your computer, download it from the Anritsu website and install the free MX900030A program. The functionality of this computer program is similar to the functionality of the program built into the reflectometer.

Built-in light source, power meter and illuminance (VFL)

Each Anritsu MT9085 Series OTDR comes standard with stable radiation source with the same wavelengths as the reflectometer. If a power meter is installed at the far end of the fiber, this source can be used to accurately measure loss in dB. In addition, the built-in source can modulate the generated radiation at frequencies of 270 Hz, 1 kHz, or 2 kHz. Modulated radiation can be used to identify long fibers for which lumen cannot be used (more than 10 km long). The built-in radiation source uses the same optical port (connector) as the reflectometer itself.

Also included as standard with every Anritsu MT9085 series reflectometer is built-in power meter optical signal with a measurement range of -50 to -5 dBm. This power meter also uses the optical port of the OTDR itself. It supports several popular single mode wavelengths (1310, 1550 nm and others). Read more about its characteristics below on this page in the section Documentation.

In addition to the standard power meter, Anritsu MT9085 series optical reflectometers can be equipped with optional power meter (one of options 004, 005 or 007). This additional meter has its own separate connector and a wider measuring range that depends on the option number.

Option 004 is a built-in optical power meter with a measurement range of -50 to +23 dBm and calibrated wavelengths: 1310, 1383, 1490, 1550, 1625 and 1650 nm.

Option 005 is a built-in optical power meter with a measurement range of -43 to +30 dBm and calibrated wavelengths: 1310, 1383, 1490, 1550, 1625 and 1650 nm.

Option 007 is a built-in optical power meter with a measurement range of -67 to +6 dBm and calibrated wavelengths: 850, 1300, 1310, 1383, 1490, 1550, 1625 and 1650 nm.
