New fibre-optic Test and Measurement equipment from EXFO
FTB-5235 Optical Spectrum Analyser
The new FTB-5235 Optical Spectrum Analyser from EXFO is a compact, entry-level optical spectrum analyser (OSA) ideal for a variety of field applications, including DWDM and CWDM network commissioning and troubleshooting.
With the largest screen in the industry, and an intuitive user interface, the FTB-5235 offers power and wavelength measurements, has a WDM and drift mode, is capable of OSNR testing (IEC 61280-2-9) and also offline post-processing.
PPM-350D PON Power Meter
EXFO’s new PPM-350D has been designed to fulfil the field technicians need to know what’s what. As communications service providers (CSPs) deploy next-gen technologies onto legacy passive optical networks (PON), by overlaying new wavelengths on existing lines, it is necessary to quickly determine what’s being squirted down a fibre. The PPM-350D PON Power Meter automatically detects the PON technology in use and adapts its test parameters to match.
The PPM-350D is compatible with GPON and EPON, can handle single- and multi-layer PON, has a pass-through mode for ONT/ONU verification, and supports 10G. It also comes with a smart App, Bluetooth and USB.
OSICS Multifunction Test Platform
EXFO has rebadged OSICS multifunction modular platform following its recent acquisition of Yenista Optics. The instrument has the widest selection of plug-in modules, making it the most flexible platform for DWDM (Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) system evaluation and fibre optic component testing.
Up to 8 modules can be mixed and matched in a single OSICS mainframe. The range includes: compact tuneable lasers, a compact transmission laser, broadband light sources, and passive optical functions such as high-power optical attenuators and variable back reflectors.
Please contact us for more information about these or other test and measurement instruments from EXFO.
February 2018 Newsletter Out Now
The Elliot Scientific February newsletter is now available. In this issue we welcome Accurion and their Halcyonics range of vibration isolation systems, take a look at Siskiyou’s probe manipulators for the life scientist interested in electrophysiology, survey the temperature measurement and control equipment from Lake Shore Cryotronics, and announce two new handheld instruments from EXFO for analysing optical powers and frequencies in fibre networks.

EXFO’s new LTK-1 delivers a high-performance benchtop optical power meter solution to all
EXFO’s new LTK-1 Benchtop Optical Power Meter offers:
- High-performance optical power meter
- 85 dB range
- Choice of 1, 2 or 4 detectors
- Up to 5 kHz continuous sampling rate
- Easy-to-use web-based interface
- Optional FIP-400B fibre inspection probe
- IVI compliant drivers for automated test systems
Combining the FTB-1750 power meter module with the new LTB-1 platform, the LTK-1 delivers a high-performance benchtop power meter solution to the lab engineer, or the production manager looking for a small, cost-effective easily automated solution.
EXFO designed the LTK-1 for performance, giving it an 85 dB range, fast stabilisation times, and the ability to simultaneously measure high and low signals on up to four channels. This new power meter kit is the only one on the market to offer touchscreen display and optional industry-leading FIP-400B inspection probe.
The LTB-1 platform is Windows-based, and offers maximum efficiency and flexibility through its Ethernet remote control port and powerful processor. It comes with a web-based user interface and powerful remote control capabilities via built-in Ethernet port and IVI compliant instrument drivers.
Please contact us for more information.
Gamma Scientific detected at Photonex
Newcomer to the Elliot Scientific stable, Gamma Scientific, drew considerable interest over the two days we exhibited at the Photonex Exhibition and Conference held recently in Coventry. Gamma Scientific President Richard Austin was on hand to demonstrate the systems and explain the differences between radiance and irradiance, and luminance and illuminance among other things.
Elliot Scientific is now distributing Gamma Scientific’s comprehensive range of light and optical test and measurement systems, that are trusted by some of the world’s leading companies and standards organisations, for accurately determining the consistency, power, and colour of light. Gamma Scientific designs and manufactures lab grade light measurement instruments and systems that include:
| • Spectroradiometers • Spectrometers • Spectrophotometers |
• Goniophotometers • Reflectometers • Thin Film Measurement Systems |
| • Calibration Light Sources – Filament & LED • Integrating Spheres up to 3 metres in diameter |
|
In addition, Elliot Scientific is also offering Optometer equipment from UDT Instruments, a division within Gamma Scientific. This portfolio includes Photometers, Radiometers, Lux meters, Luminance meters, Colourimeters, Photodetectors, and Illuminance meters for photometric and radiometric testing applications.
Gamma Scientific instruments are used in a variety of applications that cover the testing of LEDs, lamps, light fittings and luminaires, lasers and fibre-optics, night vision equipment and visual displays and, uniquely, the single sided inspection of the first surface of any transmissive element.
