
Switch the power supply to your local main voltage (100 VAC, 120 VAC or
230 VAC), see Figure 1.
Figure 1: Switchable power supply for 100 V, 120 V, or 230 V

Plug the power connector cable into the DC INPUT .

Plug the power supply into a 50-60 Hz, 100 VAC outlet (120 VAC, or 230 VAC
resp.) and turn it on.

Connect RF OUTPUTs and, if required, MONITOR outputs with coaxial cables
to your data acquisition device.
2.3 First Operation

Please note, that all fiber connectors must have a FC/APC connector!

Connect the INT-POL-1300 to your OCT setup, for further details please refer
to section 3.4 Basic Measurement Setup.

For balanced operation (optimum noise suppression), the power at each de-
tector pair has to be the same. This can be achieved by inserting polarization
controllers previous both optical inputs and change the SOP so that both di-
odes are balanced. The monitor outputs helps to adjust the power to the same
level.

The maximum RF-OUTPUT voltage swing is

3.6 V for high impedance loads
(

1.8 V into 50

loads). The RF OUTPUT signal should not exceed this max-
imum output voltage to avoid saturation. If necessary, reduce optical input
power at input
ports.

The maximum MONITOR voltage swing is +10 V for high impedance loads
(+1.5 V into 50

loads). The MONITOR signal should not exceed this maxi-
mum output voltage to avoid saturation. If necessary, reduce optical input
power at input
ports.
