This instrument is a versatile Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) based on a coherent detection principle provides picometer class spectral resolution across the C-Band (1528.5 – 1567.5nm).
4 Key factors make this instrument an ideal solution for spectral monitoring in R&D and production test applications:
Cost Effective- Less than 30% of a traditional OSA
Rugged- No Calibration required and no moving Optical Parts
Fast- Scans C band at full Resolution in 0.5 seconds
Compact- Half Size 1HE 19 Inch Stacking
Two input ports with different sensitivity boost the available power range beyond 90dB allowing accurate analysis of both low power signals as well as high power DWDM bands. The optical input connector plate can be removed by the user allowing to clean the input port connectors effectively. It is controlled via USB or Ethernet interface by a provided Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Windows PCs or by a SCPI command set. Important measurement parameters such as Optical Signal To Noise Ratio (OSNR) or channel power are calculated inside the unit. (
