OLS-85 Laser Sources

Class I Laser Source; 850 to 1625 nm; Output Power 0 to -23 dBm; PC, APC, SC, FC, ST Adapters; Source Modes CW, Tone, Auto-λ, Multi- λ

Viavi Solutions’ SmartClass Fiber OLS-85 series of inspection-ready optical light sources is the ideal partner to the SmartClass Fiber OLP-85 and OLP-85P optical power meter series to perform automatic loss test. As a handheld light source, OLS-85 is a professional, versatile, and compact instrument used for fiber-optic network qualification and certification. Its specific wavelength combinations make it optimal for link loss testing and long-haul, metro, and access telecommunication network characterization, as well as data center and local area network testing.

In addition to providing a full day of battery-operated field use, the SmartClass Fiber OLS-85 is perfect for fixed installations in central offices, production environments, and laboratory workbenches because it can operate via mains with remote-control capabilities via USB 2.0 and Ethernet.

Adding the P5000i fiber inspection microscope to the OLS-85 lets users check fiber end-face quality and get fully automatic pass/fail acceptance results at the push of button. Combining the Viavi Solutions OLS-85 Optical Light Source and OLP-85 Optical Power Meter provides the greatest functionality and test automation, avoids handling errors and speeds testing.

Automatic functions, such as auto-λ and multi-λ test, send information about the emitted wavelengths to the receiver to automatically set wavelengths on a compatible power meter to accurately measure up to four wavelengths simultaneously. Users can generate and save comprehensive test reports on the OLP-85.

The OLS-85 series of inspection-ready optical light sources can be used anywhere today’s fiber technicians go, up poles or down holes. Technicians get ultimate flexibility and performance from this powerful easy-to-use solution that can help any technician become an instant fiber expert.
