Optical spectrum analyzer Rohde Schwarz

Q8384 is a high-grade optical spectrum analyzer (Advantest) with a 4-pass monochromator and extremely low polarization dependance. Thanks to a special method used, a value of ±0.05 dB can be guaranteed, the typical value is as low as 0.02 dB. The narrowest resolution bandwidth and the broad dynamic range make the Q8384 an ideal measuring instrument in the DWDM technology for closest channel spacing. A special measurement function allows the automatic determination of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) parameters; these are e.g. noise figure, gain and spontaneous emission by simple comparison of the signal at the amplifier input with the signal at the amplifier output.
