Figure 4 The Agilent 8164B Lightwave Measurement System Mainframe
The Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System mainframe has one
large and four slim module slots.
The system can host:
1 one back-loadable Tunable Laser module, such as the Agilent 81672B
2 and up to four front-loadable modules, of any combination of the following types:
• compact Tunable Laser modules, such as the the Agilent 81689A,
• fixed wavelength Laser Sources, such as the Agilent 81650A,
• DFB Source modules, such as the Agilent 81662A
• Power Sensors, both dual and single, such as the Agilent 81635A,
• Fast Power Sensor Modules, such as the Agilent 81637B,
• Interface Modules for Optical Heads, such as the Agilent 81618A,
• Return Loss Modules, such as the Agilent 81610A
• Attenuator Modules, such as the Agilent 81570A
• Optical Switch Modules. such as the Agilent 81591B
The front-loadable module slots also support all modules designed for the
8153A Lightwave Multimeter.
