Ultra-High-Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyzer AE8700, 800–1650 nm, <10 pm
AE8700Design Tools
The AE8700 is a benchtop optical spectrum analyzer for 800–1650 nm with a best resolution below 10 pm and more than 80 dB of dynamic range, so closely spaced spectral lines can be separated and measured accurately. A built-in wavelength reference and calibration function holds wavelength accuracy to ±0.005 nm.
Key Features
- Spectral range 800–1650 nm, single-mode and multimode fiber input
- Best resolution below 10 pm
- Sensitivity setting down to −85 dBm
- Over 80 dB dynamic range to separate closely spaced signals
- ±0.005 nm wavelength accuracy with built-in calibration and wavelength reference source
- WDM, light-source and EDFA analysis functions for field-to-factory use
- 10.1-inch touchscreen
- Ethernet and USB interfaces
Typical Applications
- DWDM channel and OSNR characterization
- Narrow-linewidth laser and filter measurement
- EDFA gain and noise-figure analysis
- Optical component production test
