Amplifier Research - Laser Probe Interface
The FI8000 interface provides both power to and communication with the FL8000 series probes. A low-level loop back fiber optic connection is used to sense unexpected disconnect of laser driven fibers to ensure user-safe operation. As an additional safety measure, shuttered connectors are used on all fiber optic connections to and from the probe.
The FI8000 can be used with the FM7004A Field Monitor (using the provided 0.5-meter fiber optic cable) or a PC by direct communication using the IEEE-488 (GPIB), Ethernet, USB 2.0, RS-232 or Fiber-Optic Serial interfaces.

Our RF horn antennas exhibit increasing gain, with frequency up to 18 dBi at 1000 MHz, helping to compensate for losses that occur elsewhere in an RF test system. Use these antennas in shielded rooms or free space.
- Octave Frequencies: 1-2 GHz and 2-4 GHz
- Narrowband Frequencies: 1.2-1.4 GHz & 2.7-3.1 GHz
- Power Levels: 1 kW to 150 kW
- Harmonic Distortion of -18dBc @ 1dB compression point
- Pulse Widths to 100 μsec. & Duty Cycles to 10%
- High Mean Time To Failure (MTTF)
- Mismatch Tolerance – Will operate without damage or oscillation with any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance.
- Numerous Applications Possible – Automotive, MIL STD 464, DO-160 and Military
AR E-field generators offer exceptional uniformity between the elements. Our ATE10K30M uses low inductance high-power internal load resistors to terminate RF power, and offers well-matched input VSWR. The ATE10K100M is our own patent-pending folded-dipole type design. And we haven’t yet found a test object the ATE10K25M–1 can’t handle.
The FL8000 Series field probes offer a three-in-one solution capable of measuring continuous-wave, pulsed, and modulated electric fields. Covering 5 kHz – 60 GHz, the FL8000 Series works great in commercial, automotive, military, and aviation applications. Each field probe is an electrically small, separable axis sensor capable of measuring both continuous wave and pulsed electric fields offering a unique bandwidth, sensitivity, and dynamic range. Functionality that historically necessitated several types of field probes is now encompassed in a single product.
This series offers exceptional linearity and dynamic range performance to enable the accuracy required for even the most demanding testing. With fiber power connectivity, the FL8000 Series provides an easy migration path, all while delivering the reliability that has made AR the world leader in field monitoring.

Amplifier Research
Founded in 1969, Amplifier Research is a world-class source for broadband high power, solid state, RF amplifiers and microwave amplifiers, TWT amplifiers, log periodic antennas and high-gain horn antennas, plus EMC test equipment, software and field probes and monitors. Throughout its 50 years (and counting), AR has been responsible for a number of “firsts” which have transformed not only EMC and RF testing but also the industries and equipment affected by these tests. A sampling of these innovations includes:
- 10,000-watt tube amplifiers,100-watt solid-state • 100-1000 MHz instantaneous bandwidth Class A amplifier
- First production 16,000-watt solid-state linear amplifier from 10 kHz to 225 MHz
- 50,000-watt Class A power amplifier up to 225 MHz
- 0.7 to 6 GHz high-power Class A & AB amplifier
Additionally, they push the limits of state-of-the-art design and have ruggedized their products to make them virtually indestructible. AR amplifiers are fully tested to the extreme to ensure customers receive a product that is built to last.
