OSA DWDM – Optical Spectrum Analyzers For DWDM Networks

If you are looking for the best spectral analyzer for DWDM, then you should consider the OSA DWDM. Its patented feature expands measurement capabilities and gives you a sharp edge and flat-top profile for each channel in a DWDM system. Its adjustable bandwidth works well with any modulation rate. It also offers a powerful power aggregation function to gather power in all conditions.

Fabry-Perot interferometer

Despite their name, the Fabry-Perot interferometer is not as widely known as its counterpart, the scalar Fabry-Perot interferograph. This type of interferometer can measure very small displacements because it can produce parallel interference extrema in half-wavelength steps. The scalar Fabry-Perot interferometer has many applications, including spectroscopy.

The Osa Fabry-Perotot interferometer uses a resonator whose spectral response is determined by interference between two beams of light launched into the resonator. The interference between the beams of light causes the resonant enhancement of light inside the resonator. Once this happens, transmitted, reflected, and stored light undergo spectral modification, or Fourier transformation, to give the full spectrum of the Osa Fabry-Perot interferometer.

The Osa Fabry-PeroT interferometer consists of two identically sized mirrors with reflectivity at both ends. Each mirror is made of a material that has a Fabry-Perot-type reflectivity. These mirrors can be dielectric or made of metal. The thin metal layer can be deposited onto the surface of the interferometer to improve the quality of the resonant wavelength.

Another Fabry-Perot interferometer is based on optical fiber. It is very compact and features a simple cavity formed of a plane reflecting counter-surface. It can measure displacements from several nanometers to tens of millimeters. The Osa Fabry-Perot interferometer can operate in a wide range of temperature and vacuum conditions.

Unlike traditional Fabry-Perot interferometry, Osa acoustic wave sensors can also be used for a variety of sensing applications, such as humidity sensing. The chitosan polymer used in the sensor changes the refractive index of reflected light. This phase change can be detected by observing the shift in the interference pattern. Over a humidity range of 30 to 95%, an observed shift of 28 pm was detected. Similarly, an Osa Fabry-Perot humidity sensor was developed using the same technique, using chitosan as the water-absorbing receptor.

Fabry-Perot grating

OSAs for DWDM networks use diffraction gratings to separate the spectral components. Three fundamentally different types of diffraction gratings are currently available. One type of grating is known as a scanned grating, which changes its grating angle to bring a single wavelength to a single detector. This type of grating has moving parts, which may adversely affect its durability and calibration stability.

The Fabry-Perot method uses a cavity resonator, which is made of partially mirrored plates arranged at an adjustable distance. During the process of grating fabrication, hydrogenation is not needed. The resultant optical system provides a broadband high reflecting grating with a 10 mW output power with 110 mW pump power. In addition to this, multiwavelength fiber lasers are developed by writing two superimposed chirped fiber Bragg gratings onto a photosensitive Er codoped optical fibre. The two chirped gratings create a distributed Fabry-Pe’rot structure by reducing cross-gain.

Osa dwdm gradings can be patterned with a variety of shapes, including waveguides and fibers. They may also be used as part of a DWDM optical telecommunications network. In addition to serving as a key component of an optical spectrum analyzer, Osa gratings can be used in a feedback loop to adjust the gain profile of an amplifier.

In addition to providing spectral information, Osa dwdm gratings can also measure power levels. These devices are typically used in conjunction with a multi-wavelength meter, mainly for indoors and outdoors. The multi-wavelength gratings are able to provide power levels and wavelength information. This type of grating is the most expensive type of DWDM spectrometer.

Dual-band OSAs are more widely used in embedded systems. Unlike single-band OSAs, they feature a fiber-optic switch and a modified detector array. The dual-band OSAs cover the L and C-bands. They also feature lower optical dispersion. Despite its increased cost, this type of grating has a long MTBF of fifteen to twenty years.

High-resolution optical spectrum analyzer

High-resolution optical spectrum analyzers offer unprecedented spectral accuracy and resolution bandwidth. High-resolution devices can measure spectral content of optical components or light sources and can also analyze advanced modulation formats. The AP2080 series from APEX Technologies achieves an 80 dB dynamic at 6 pm from peak. Its ultra-high resolution filter sets provide precise wavelength resolution measurements. With these capabilities, this optical spectrum analyzer is a great choice for existing applications or for field measurements.

A high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer can provide wavelength resolution as low as 0.01 nm. The fast sweep option allows users to sweep a full-span range at 70 nm/s. The high-resolution option displays the optical spectrum of a selected zone. It can be used for component analysis and Fibre Brag grating transfer function characterization. A high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer can provide the highest resolution data in the shortest time.

The new technology has made it possible to obtain higher resolution spectra. One such innovation is the incorporation of a silicon-photonic chip in an optical spectrum analyzer. Its high-resolution optical spectrum analysis capability is based on a patented, all-optical technology. It combines polarization pulling and stimulated Brillouin scattering, which enables it to reveal extremely fine spectral details.

Field-ready

The growing demand for DWDM systems has led to the development of a new breed of optical test equipment: the Field-ready OSA. Previously considered merely lab-only equipment, OSAs can now be deployed in the field for a wider variety of applications. As such, they have become an essential piece of test equipment in the DWDM industry. And with its new field-ready capability, they are now more affordable and more useful than ever.

The Field-ready OSA DWDM System Analyzer’s advanced features include a spectral plot of wavelength versus power. Using the spectral data, the OSA DWDM analyzer creates a channel table of wavelength values and power. The output is displayed as an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), a commonly reported quantity. The Field-ready OSA-155 DWDM has a powerful multichannel acquisition system for measuring DWDM systems.

An OSA can be of two types: Michelson interferometer-based or diffraction-grating-based. Unlike the traditional OSA, the Michelson interferometer-based version displays the spectrum by using a Fourier transform. The multiwavelength meter of Burleigh Instruments Inc. analyzes the optical DWDM signal using a slightly different approach. Regardless of type, the OSA provides fast and accurate wavelength, power, and OSNR measurements.

The Field-ready OSA is a valuable tool for measuring spectral and optical quality of DWDM networks. The DWDM-based devices feature increased resolution, enhanced dynamic range, and higher resolution. As a result, they’re essential in troubleshooting and commissioning DWDM networks. The OSAs have been developed to be easy to use and deploy, and EXFO has been busy improving the field-ready models in the past year.
