Stabilized Laser Source 

The SLS series have three models: SLS-10 Single-wavelength, SLS-21 

Dual-wavelength, and SLS-25 Triplex-wavelength. The SLS series are powerful, pocketsize, 

lightweight, easy-to-use stabilized laser sources with dual-way power supply. Based on 

advanced technologies of precision laser control, the SLS models have been designed to 

provide high capability of laser source for engineering, R&D and equipment manufactures, 

and being favored for its quality, value, reliability and safety.   Designed according to the 

ergonomics, the SLS series also have auto off function. Inside MPU and liner amplification 

technology ensures long time accuracy.   

Together with optical power meter, the SLS series can measure attenuation of 

single-mode and multiple-mode optic fiber link, and can be also used for installation and 

maintenance of single-mode SONET/SDH, Cable TV, ATM and other optic fiber ring.

 

 

Features: 

 

Pocketsize, easy to use 

 

Fast response, no warm up 

 

Damp, dust and shock proof design 

 

Modulation in CW and modulated frequencies 

 

Single connector, dual wavelength output 

 

Single/dual/triplex wavelength selectable 

 

Interchangeable fiber optic connectors (FC/PC, or optional SC,ST)

 

 

High stabilized output of optical signal 

 

Dual-way powering system including a 9V battery and an optional AC adapter 

 

Auto off function conserving battery life   

1.3.3 Optical Power Meter 

The OPM series is a high-performance palm optical power meter for optic fiber 

network, which features field speed test, and is favored by customers for its quality, value, 

liability, accuracy and safety. 

The series is designed for installation, verification and maintenance with advanced 

precise laser detection and processing technology. The OPM series features by small size, 

large LCD display, damp and shock proof design, dual-way powering system and support 

for single-mode/multi-mode testing. The OPM series is ideal for both laboratory and field 

applications by using concise function keys to implement quick, high accuracy testing. 

There are five series of OPM, which are OPM-10, OPM-15, OPM-21, OPM-25. The 

wavelength range of OPM series covers from 850nm to 1625 nm, and the measurement 

power range is from +27dBm to -70dBm. Besides, OPM-21/25 has a large memory capacity 

of 3000 records and can transfer the measurement data to a PC for editing and printing, 

which make data management faster, more convenient, and more accurate. 

Under the situation of laboratory, LANs, WANs and CATV as well as long-distance 

optical network, the Optical Power Meters, together with ShinewayTech’s stabilized laser
