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
