– Key Features
• Dual-channel optical head interface supports parallel measurement configurations
• Digital-only architecture ensures clean signal routing within mainframe systems
• Compact form factor (12.4 in. length) fits standard 8163x, 8164x, and 8166x chassis
• Lightweight construction (1 lb) minimizes bench footprint
• Wide storage temperature range (−40°C to +70°C) enables flexible deployment scenarios
– Typical Applications
• Multi-wavelength optical source characterization
• Simultaneous dual-channel optical power and wavelength measurement
• Lightwave system integration requiring modular measurement architecture
• Fabry-Perot laser source analysis within integrated test platforms
– Compatibility & Integration
The 81619A accepts all 8162x optical heads, including 8162xA and 8162xB series variants. It installs directly into Agilent/Keysight 8163A/B, 8164A/B, and 8166A/B mainframes. Operating environment specifications must conform to the relevant mainframe documentation to maintain performance and measurement accuracy.
