The Agilent/Keysight 81634A is an InGaAs optical power measurement head engineered for precision characterization across the 800 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. This module interfaces with Agilent/Keysight 816x series lightwave mainframes to deliver accurate optical power measurements in communications systems and component testing. The large-area InGaAs sensor provides excellent sensitivity across broad spectral bands with measurement accuracy of 2.5% at reference conditions (1000 nm to 1630 nm).
