High Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyzer AP207x Series

 


 
High performance and cost effective solution for Telecommunication applications. The Optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) AP207x Series is equiped with the high resolution of 5 MHz/0.04 pm, 20 MHz/0.16 pm, 100 MHz/0.8 pm, as well as other resolution bandwidth from 140 MHz to 250 GHz. Analysis of optical signal in both polarization axis is possible due to the two polarization channels inside.  The direct access to each channel is available.

Available options:
– the optical output of the built-in Tunable Laser Source (TLS), which could also be used for component analysis (tracking funciton);
– additional grating based OSA for fast sweep, and optical filtered ouput;
– polarimeter
