Fiber optic light sources are used to test single mode and multimode networks at different wavelengths 850/ 1300/ 1310/ 1490/ 1550/ 1625 nm by injecting an optical signal at a known optical power level for a specific wavelength.
Fiber optic laser light source are available in various model & configurations with feature options of disabling wavelength and auto wavelength ID shifting with wave ID transmit two or more wavelengths (when used with corresponding wavelength ID shifting optical power meter), can change wavelength automatically in every 9 seconds, to allow one-man fiber testing at multiple wavelengths, simultaneously decreasing test time and reducing user errors.
