Typical Applications

Typical Applications

You can use your OSA for the following tasks:

Characterizing channels in the O- to U-band spectra

Testing laser sources for spectral purity and power distribution

Testing the transmission characteristics of optical devices

Troubleshooting and monitoring key parameters on CWDM or DWDM
signals to check system stability

Characterizing all channel spacings, from 25 GHz DWDM to CWDM
(from 12.5 GHz for 5240BP)

Testing high-speed networks (beyond 40 Gbit/s)

Measuring OSNR, but specifically within the channel (InBand or Pol
Mux OSNR) for 5240S-P-InB and 5240BP models
