OSA-160 Optical Spectrum Analyzer for Wavelengths of 1280 to 1650 nm

Optical spectrum analyzers with outstanding speed

With the OSA-160 JDSU offers the forerunner to a new family of grating based DWDM analyzer modules for the ONT-family, providing extraordinary speed and functionality.

Highlights

  • Revolutionary new optical concept allows for the fastest scanning and guarantees long lifetime.
  • Online wavelength calibration guarantees excellent wavelength accuracy, even under field conditions.
  • No recalibration required, thus significantly reducing service costs.
  • Easy-to-use graphical user interface with built-in FOX functionality (Fiber Optic eXpert) for optimized instrument settings and auto pass/fail analysis.
  • Remote Internet-based monitoring for long-term system performance analysis.

Applications

  • Automatic DWDM-system analysis - providing a listing and/or graph of all present carriers in terms of channel power, channel wavelength, channel OSNR and total power
  • In depth optical spectrum analysis of DWDM systems with enhanced cursor functions and comparison of actual or stored traces
  • Performing in-service monitoring of system parameters

Key Features

  • Single port optical spectrum analyzer with unsurpassed speed and excellent lifetime.
  • Internal "online" wavelength calibration.
  • Wide wavelength range of 1280 to 1650 nm.
  • Remote operation via a built-in Ethernet port.
