Spectral measuring units for the MAP system: "swept wavelength" test system, tunable filters, multi-wavelength detectors, OSAs
A series of measuring units is available for spectral measurements: stand-alone systems and modules for the MAP platform.
The swept wavelength system (SWS) module is available to measure the wavelength dependency of passive optical elements with the MAP system. It is used for the spectral measurement of optical DWDM components (i.e., for ROADMs, wavelength-selective optical switches, tunable filters, or optical circuit packs. The SWS system comprises the following
It is used to measure the following:
SWS System Features
Multi-wavelength Meter – mWAVE
The measurement principle behind the mWAVE multi-wavelength frequency meter is based on coherent detection technology. The frequency resolution used to determine the optical power level is currently unmatched; the detection of the center wavelengths of densely packed optical signals with a spacing of just 2 GHz is also worth pointing out.
High-resolution OSA – mHROSA
The mHROSA optical spectrum analyzer ensures a sub-GHz resolution: it combines the WAVE multi-wavelength frequency meter with a high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) in a single module of standard width.
Typical applications include the characterization of DWDM transmission systems, optical sources, transponders, and line cards. The mHROSAs are particularly well suited for the characterization of components for 10/40/100/400 G applications.
