JDSU / Viavi OSA-161

Full-band, high-performance, and new in-band Optical Spectrum Analyzers for testing
optical systems and components

Targeted at providing advanced test solutions, the OSA-160, OSA-161, and OSA-201, JDSU’s field-ready full-band DWDM analyzer modules, use a new grating-based monochromator design (JDSU patents). These analyzers offer high optical selectivity and high measurement speed for accurate measurement of wavelength, power, and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) in the presence of multiple channels.

• New in-band OSA version for measuring the true OSNR in ROADM networks and in the AON
• Full-band optical spectrum analyzers Cover wavelengths of 1250 to 1650 nm for DWDM and CWDM (metro) testing
• High-resolution monochromator design with lab optical performance makes JDSU’s OSAs ready for the next generation of ultra dense WDM systems
• Best-in-class wavelength accuracy of 10 pm with a lifetime guarantee based on an internal reference (requires no external calibration)
• Channel drop function for single channel isolation and tunable filter applications.
• Built-in test applications for optical component testing of DFBs and optical amplifiers
• Easy-to-use expert analysis offering one-button operation for optimized instrument settings and auto pass/fail analysis
• Future-proof signal analysis to handle ultra high data rates of 40G, 100G and next-generation modulation formats
• Increased durability due to a maintenance-free and shock-proof mechanical design
