VIAVI offers a full range of OSAs tailored for spectral measurements in CWDM systems in the access network as well as DWDM systems in high-speed backbone networks with datarates up to 40Gbps or 100Gbps. The range features an OSA for ROADM testing-based systems, providing true OSNR measurements based on VIAVI’s unique in-band OSNR method.
| Key Features |
| New Optical Polarization Splitting method (OPS-method, VIAVI pat pending) for measuring the true in-band OSNR in ROADM based networks |
| Future-proof design with a wide tuning range of 1250 to 1650 nm that is suitable for all optical DWDM and CWDM (Metro) networks up to 100GBps |
| Channel drop option for troubleshooting and fault location. lsolation of a single channel out of the entire spectrum for further in-depth signal analysis with BERT or a Q-factor meter |
| Software option for PMD testing based on the fixed analyzer PMD test method |
| Built-in optical component test applications for laser diodes, LEDs, and optical amplifiers |
| Benefits |
| OSA-500R/500RS with in-band OSNR method to measure the true in-band OSNR in ROADM-based systems |
| InBand OSNR measurement time is significantly reduced using a fast polarization controller |
| Internal online wavelength calibration guarantees highest wavelength accuracy and requires no recalibration, thus significantly reducing service costs |
| High filter selectivity and lab optical performance over the full band, from 1250 to 1650nm, in a field-modular design |
| Applications |
| Measurement of the true in-band OSNR in Agile Optical networks including ROADM testing and dispersion compensating modules |
| DWDM and CWDM system testing during installation, maintenance, and network upgrade |
| Automated DWDM passive and active component testing |
| System verification testing according to the customer's preset limits |
| Verification of ROADM configurations in Agile Optical Networks |
| Full-band optical spectrum analyzer for the ONT platform, MTS-8000 / T-BERD 8000, MTS-6000 / T-BERD 6000 |
