Spectral Analysis
ID OSA – Optical Spectrum Analyzer
The ID OSA is an Optical Spectrum Analyzer based on coherent detection principles. Designed for versatility and efficiency, it provides picometer-class spectral resolution across the C-band or the L-band and completes full-resolution scans in just 0.5 seconds. With two input ports of different sensitivity, it boosts the available power range to more than 90 dB, allowing for accurate analysis of both low power signals and high power DWDM bands. Its compact and sturdy design, without any moving parts, makes it the ideal instrument for both research in the lab and production testing.
