The PERM-RR56053 optical power meter is a cost effective solution to directly measure
the output polarization extinction ratio from a fiber. It features unmatched low cost,
large dynamic range, high resolution, and ease to use. The design adds a manual
rotary polarizer to an optical power meter. As the polarizer rotates about 90
degrees, maximum and minimum intensity readings are obtained and the ratio is
ER. The rotation is continuous, providing high resolution and accuracy. For the
connector test, the polarizer rotary is pre-aligned to the key. The ease of operation
has been proven in production and laboratory environments. Some practice and
patient is required to obtain peak reading. The design accepts all types of fiber
connectors as well as free space laser beam. The PERM-RR56053 is ideal for PM fiber
pigtailing of laser diodes, PM fiber patch cord manufacturing, PM fiber
connectorization, PM fiber fusion splicing, PM fiber coil production, and quality
assurance for fiber gyros.
One option is bare fiber can be conveniently insert into the meter, which matches
our PM fusion splicer fiber holder. The PERM-RR56053 is also an optical power meter

Operation Instruction
- Turn on the meter
- Ignore the wavelength selection (affect the result small)
- Plug the fiber into the input via a connector or bare fiber adaptor. The instrument accepts both FC and APC
- Manually rotating the big round-shape polarizer rotator located on the top of the meter
- Find the smallest value while slowly turning near the measurement valley and back and forth to stay at the lowest value. Then, push the dB button to zero the meter. The display shows 0 dB
- Find the largest value while slowly turning near the peak and back and forth to choose the largest value. The value is the ER
