Explanation

Measurement Light Wavelength

There are three instrument types, with the measurement light wavelengths listed below. Select a 
wavelength from the available settings on this instrument that you are using.

Model

Measurement Light Wavelength

AQ1100A

SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm

AQ1100B

SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm, SM 1625 nm

AQ1100D

GI 850 nm, GI 1300 nm, SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm

The light for single mode (SM) optical fiber is emitted from optical port 2. The light for graded-index (GI) 
multi-mode optical fiber is emitted from optical port 3. Firmly connect the optical fiber to the port from 
which the light with the selected wavelength will be transmitted.

Modulation Mode

You can set the frequency of the light to one of the following options.
CW (continuous light), 270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz
On the AQ1100D, when the wavelength is GI 850 nm or GI 1300 nm, you can set the modulation mode 
to CW or 270 Hz.
