Keysight / Agilent / HP 81624A Optical Head Power Sensor Overview
Features:
- Large Area InGaAs Sensor
- Optical Range of 800 to 1700 nm
- Power Range of +10 dBm to -90 dBm
Agilent's current production model is the 81624B. Here is Agilent's description of the difference between these two models:
What is the difference between the 8162xA and the 8162xB optical heads?
Most of the functionality of the 8152x optical heads was carried over when Agilent Technologies first introduced the 8162xA family of optical heads. However, the 8162xA optical heads did not have an analog output available. The 8162xB models, with the exception of the 81625B (now replaced by the 81626B), all offer an analog output on the optical head.
In addition, some specifications have been added. For example, the 81623B now has a specification for power variation with polarization. The 81623A did not.
The main difference is that the 8162xB models (exception is the 81625B) offer an analog output, the 8162xA do not. All functionality the 8162xA offered is available for the corresponding B model.
The Agilent 81624A Optical Head Power Sensor may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

What Customers Are Saying
- Neo Google
Contacted Artisan for hard to find that has been out of circulation for nearly a decade. Their rapid response and availability exceeded all other suppliers. They supplied the part overnight to an out of state facility which allowed us to repair our equipment successfully. Well packed electronics. Well stated and professional documentation. I work with a hundred different suppliers any day of the week in my profession. Artisan remains at the very top of the bookmark tab. Thanks so much.

Don’t worry about damage to your items during shipping – the box ours came in could have taken a beating and would have still survived!
- Kamal A.
We found Artisan when our PXI Chassis broke, which shut down our production line. We were up and running in less than a day because they shipped overnight and talked our tech guys through the installation over the phone. ATG saved the day big time!
