ONT Platforms – Optical Spectrum Analyzers

Advancedopticalperformance

JDSU’s OSA modules offer the full wavelength range of 1250 nm to 1650 nm for DWDM and

CWDM (metro) applications, combining outstanding wavelength accuracy and high dynamic

range. Allinstrumentsareequippedwithaninternalwavelengthreferenceforon-linecalibration

without requiring disruption of in-progress measurements. The internal wavelength calibrator is

basedonaphysicalconstantreferencethatguaranteesunsurpassedwavelengthaccuracyoverthe

Ruggedandfastmechanicaldesign

JDSU’s OSA modules have a new opto-mechanical design based on a maintenance-free, fast gal-

vanometerdrive,providingthehighestmeasurementspeedandunsurpassedruggednessforfield

One-button“FOX”(FiberOpticeXpert) testingguaranteesthattechniciansneednospecialtrain-

ing to carry out a DWDM test, making JDSU’s instruments suitable for both novice and expert

technicians. An Auto-Test mode automatically identifies WDM channels, selects the appropriate

wavelength range, and provides auto scaling and system qualification according to pre-defined

parameters.

Flexiblemeasurementcapability

In-depth analysis, featuring statistical evaluation, long-term monitoring, and automatic storage

capabilities, is provided. This allows for DWDM system performance verification, including the

variation of optical system parameters (wavelength, power, and OSNR) as well as a series of mea-

surements over a defined period of time. Resulting reports are provided with average, minimum,

maximum,andstandarddeviationvaluesofthemeasuredparametersovertime.
