Cleaning Instructions

What do I need for proper cleaning?

Agilent 81650A/1A/2A/4A/5A/6A/7A User’s Guide, Third Edition

Furthermore, the power density may burn dust into the fiber and

cause additional damage (for example, 0 dBm optical power in a single

mode fiber causes a power density of approximately 16 million W/m

If this happens, measurements become inaccurate and non-repeatable.

Cleaning is, therefore, an essential yet difficult task. Unfortunately,

when comparing most published cleaning recommendations, you will

discover that they contain several inconsistencies. In this section, we

want to suggest ways to help you clean your various optical devices,

and thus significantly improve the accuracy and repeatability of your

lightwave measurements.

What do I need for proper
cleaning?

Some Standard Cleaning Equipment is necessary for cleaning your

instrument. For certain cleaning procedures, you may also require

certain Additional Cleaning Equipment.

Standard Cleaning Equipment

Before you can start your cleaning procedure you need the following

standard equipment:

• Dust and shutter caps

• Isopropyl alcohol

• Cotton swabs

• Soft tissues

• Pipe cleaner

• Compressed air

Dust and shutter caps

All of Agilent Technologies’ lightwave instruments are delivered with

either laser shutter caps or dust caps on the lightwave adapter. Any

cables come with covers to protect the cable ends from damage or

contamination.
