An optical light source is commonly used with an optical power meter for measuring optical attenuation, It can also be used as a test tone generator for use with a clip on fiber identifier, or power meter tone detector. 

All light sources are coloured yellow for easy identification. Alternatively, some users may prefer an integrated two-way loss test set, or a simple loss test set.

KI 7400 Series Optical Light Source

• High productivity singlemode applications 

• Up to 4 CWDM / 1310 / 1550 nm sources from one port 

• Autotest Tx 

• No warm up period 

• Interchangable connector 

The KI 7400 premium Optical Light Source is used with a power meter for measuring optical loss on singlemode and multimode fiber cable. Ultra high laser stability is guaranteed, with zero warm up. Unlike most other sources, power output is unaffected by varying back reflection. Up to 4 laser sources can be specified per instrument, with one output port.

These sources can be used with Autotest compatible meters and Loss tester to automate loss testing functions, and provide automatic λ identification. A 4 λ source and meter in Autotest mode automatically measures 4 λ attenuation in one direction providing associated equipment is calibrated at all relevant λ.
