Ando AQ6317B

AQ6317B is a high-accuracy and high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer for evaluating D-WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) systems and components.

For a wide range of applications, the AQ6317B is an advanced optical spectrum analyzer including light source evaluation, measurement of loss wavelength characteristics in optical devices and waveform analysis of WDM systems.

The AQ6317B optical spectrum analyzer achieves high wavelength accuracy and wavelength linearity at C-band and L-band. The AQ6317B can evaluate optical devices for WDM.

The AQ6317B is a reference equipment for the next generation which contains the latest Ando technology for optical spectrum analyzers.

The wavelength accuracy of the AQ6317B has been improved to ±20 pm when compared with former model, and it is specified as for the L-band as well.

It has become much easier to use with newly added multi-channel NF analysis function and optical filter analysis function. The WDM analysis function and notch width analysis function are improved.

The AQ6317B when used in conjunction with an AQ4321 Tunable Laser Source, much higher wavelength resolution/wide dynamic range can be achieved by high-speed synchronous sweep.

The AQ6317B provides ±0.02 nm wavelength accuracy at 1520 to 1580 nm, and ±0.04 nm at 1580 to 1620 nm, with ±0.01 nm wavelength linearity, making it especially useful for high-precision loss wavelength characteristics and other evaluation of WDM devices.

The measurements such as gain of optical amplifier can be proceeded accurately because polarization dependency is suppressed as low as ±0.05 dB.

The high power output from an optical amplifier can be measured directly without an optical attenuator.
