Ando AQ6315A Optical Spectrum Analyzer 350 - 1750nm Low Cost Spectrum Analyzer

Ando AQ-6315A Optical Spectrum Analyzer

The AQ-6515A/-6315B optical spectrum analyzer brings advanced capabilities to a wide range of applications, from light source evaluation to measurement of loss wavelength characteristics in optical devices. Featuring significant upgrades from the basic performance and functions of the prior AQ-6312A/-6312B models, they incorporate a totally new monochrometer design. In spite of the compact case, they support single-pass/double-pass monochrometer mode select. In the double-pass monochrometer mode dynamic range is improved far beyond what it has even been before. In the single-pass monochrometer mode it supports the same wide range of applications as the prior models. The AQ-6315A/-6315B, bringing the full selection of advanced Ando spectrum analyzer technology to your work.... a new standard for the industry.

Major Features

Diverse analysis functions Analysis functions for WDM and other optical devices (LD, LED, FBG, etc.). High wavelength accuracy Provides ±0.05 nm wavelength accuracy in the 1550 nm band, with ±0.02 nm wavelength linearity, makes it especially useful for WDM devices, such as high-precision loss wavelength characteristic evaluation.Monochromator select mode The monochromator mode can be set to single-pass or double-pass to match your measurement application needs.High sensitivity over a wide band Covers from 350nm to 1750nm and noise level has been suppressed to allow the AQ-6315A/-6315B to measure light at down to –90BmLow polarization dependency Polarization dependency has been slashed to ±0.05dB, enabling accurate measurement of optical amplifier gain and other critical measurements.High-level accuracy Accurate to within ±0.3dB.High-power measurement: Max.+20dBm (100mW) Even high power output from an optical amplifier can be measured directly without an optical attenuator High wavelength resolution Achieves wavelength resolution of 0.05nm.Optical output is provided (AQ6315B only) Can be used as an optical band pass filter.Three individual trace memories Pulsed light can be measured9.4-inch color LCD
