Viavi (formerly JDSU) SmartPocket OLP-38 — Filtered InGaAs High-Power Optical Power Meter

The Viavi OLP-38 is part of the SmartPocket OLP-3x family of pocket-sized optical power meters designed for the installation and maintenance of singlemode and multimode fibre optic networks. The OLP-38 uses a Filtered InGaAs photodiode and is the high-power (+26 dBm) variant, specifically suited to CATV (with analogue RF transmission) and amplified DWDM system applications. It delivers an excellent price-to-performance ratio in a rugged, compact housing for straightforward field use.

Key Features:
- Rugged and pocket-sized design
- Large display with easy-to-use interface
- Auto-wavelength recognition for faster, error-free testing
- Internal data storage (100 results)
- Micro USB interface for PC data transfer and power supply
- Universal optical interface for all 2.5 mm connectors (1.25 mm optional)
- Individually settable wavelengths in 1 nm steps
- Quick-start operation — no warm-up required
- Can be paired with Viavi OLS-3x LED or laser light sources for insertion loss measurement
- Compatible with OFS-355 software for report generation

Applications:
- Measuring optical power levels in premises, telco, and CATV fibre networks
- High-power level tests for CATV, amplified DWDM, and military fibre applications
- Insertion loss measurement when used with a compatible Viavi light source
