Yokogawa is launching new, more capable versions of its AQ2200 optical sensor modules. The AQ2200-212 is a single channel optical sensor module, complete with an analog output port, while the AQ2200-222 offers two channels.
Designed to work with the AQ2200 series frame controllers, the new modules offer improved performance over the existing AQ2200-221.
Both modules have superior measurement performance, including low uncertainty and a wide power range. The AQ2200-212 and the AQ2200-222 both offer a wide power range of +15 to -90 dBm, compared to the AQ2200-221’s figure of +10 to -70 dBm. The modules can also achieve a seamless measurement of approximately 30 dB without switching the measurement range.
The new modules also have an improved uncertainty of ±2.5%, compared to their predecessor’s figure of ±3%. Minimum averaging time has been halved to 100 µs, compared to the AQ2200-221’s 200 µs.
Other performance figures include a wavelength range of 800 to 1700 nm and a polarization dependence of 0.02 dB.
The new AQ2200 optical sensor modules are ideal for manufacturers of active optical devices and components who need to test products such as lasers, optical transceivers, and optical amplifiers.
