• Option 25 Calibration light source with EE-LED output

   The Advantest Q8384 is a high-end optical spectrum analyzer using a new monochromator developed by ADVANTEST and featuring a high dynamic range and a high wavelength resolution. It offers the world's highest level of performance with a 10pm wavelength resolution and a 20pm wavelength accuracy in the 1.55µm band. This enables precise measurement and evaluation of wavelength characteristics. The Q8384 optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) is optimized to test devices used in DWDM applications, or any application where broad spectral range measurements are required.

Features

• High-wavelength resolution of 10pm
• High-wavelength precision of 20pm
• Wide dynamic range 50dB (±0.1nm) and 60dB (±0.2nm)
• Direct input of large signals: + 23dBm (200mW)
• Measurement of NF noise indices of EDFAs
• Thin film filters for triplexers 

   In DWDM optical communications, exacting wavelength measurements are required of the optical source. Evaluating these specifications requires an optical spectrum analyzer with enhanced resolution bandwidth and wavelength accuracy. To meet these stringent requirements, the Q8384 achieves 10 pm wavelength resolution, the best in the world and attains 20 pm wavelength accuracy in the 1550 nm band. This high performance makes it possible for the Q8384 to measure the oscillation wavelength characteristics of laser diodes accurately. DWDM optical communication systems also contain wavelength division multiplexed channels spaced at intervals as close as 50 GHz (0.4 nm). In this environment an optical spectrum analyzer with superior dynamic range is required to separate the optical signals and measure the noise figure (NF) of the optical amplifier. The Q8384 has a dynamic range as wide as 50 dB at 0.1 nm and 60 dB at 0.2 nm and therefore fulfills these requirements adequately. Equipped with automatic optical amplifier NF measurement and arithmetic facilities, the instrument allows the user to make measurements in a simple fashion. The Q8384 optionally has a built-in reference wavelength light source and an EE-LED (edge emitting LED). If calibrated with this reference light source, the instrument is assured to provide wavelength accuracy of 20 pm in the 1550 nm band. Using the EE-LED's broad-band light source, the Q8384 allows the user to conveniently measure and evaluate the transmission and loss characteristics of narrow-band optical filters.

Agilent/HP 86145B High Performance Optical Spectrum Analyzer

Rent me for $2000 a month

with option

• 006 Calibrator

The Agilent 86145B is a portable optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) that is best suited for 50 GHz and wider WDM applications where accurate power and wavelength measurements are critical. This OSA has all the performance capabilities of its larger sibling, the Agilent 86142B, while having a smaller 12.8" x 16.8" footprint and weighing 31 lbs.

 

Features

• Built-in test applications
• 10 pm wavelength accuracy
• Fast dual-sweep method
• Covers S, C, and L wavelength bands
• Extended WDM wavelength range

   The 86146B benchtop OSA enables new test methods you may never have thought possible. One of the applications of the filter mode is to allow a single tightly spaced DWDM signal to be isolated. You can then quantitatively analyze in the time domain without losing any of the traditional OSA functionality you?ve come to expect from Agilent. It is now possible to switch between parametric measurements in the physical domain to functional measurements in the time domain. The WDM application can sequentially or selectively drop WDM channels that require additional analysis. The 86146B provides the flexibility to drop a single DWDM channel as tight as 12.5 GHz spacing with fast-tuning speed, low-insertion loss, and highly repeatable wavelength accuracy. We?ve also designed our built-in WDM application to work with the single-mode monochromator output path to simplify the task of pre-selecting a desired WDM channel for analysis. Another application of the filter mode is to measure time resolved chirp (TRC) and to compute dispersion penalty (DPC). Using the SMF feature of monochromator out as a preselector with a DCA, chirp measurements can be made on lasers.

   Built-in applications take the uncertainty out of measurements for WDM systems, lasers, amplifiers, and passive components. These applications allow for fast, accurate, easy to use, and repeatable measurements of critical parameters. All of these applications can be added through a simple firmware upgrade.

   The 8614xB series of optical spectrum analyzers provide fast, accurate, and comprehensive measurement capabilities for spectral analysis.

• Full-featured SCPI commands for programming instruments over LAN

• Display-off feature for making faster measurements

• Remote file saving and printing for outputting measurement results

• Filter mode for accurate and flexible measurements

Ancot´s FCAccess 1000A introduces a revolutionary new analysis system for Fibre Channel networks.  FCAccess is the first network-attached analyzer for Fibre Channel.  Using client-server architecture, the Java-based FCAccess client allows the analyzer to run on virtually any host computer system (e.g., Solaris, UNIX, Windows, etc.).  Using client-server architecture, the Java-based FCAccess client allows the analyzer to run on virtually any host computer system (e.g., Solaris, UNIX, Windows, etc.).  Multiple clients may control the analyzer and/or view data simultaneously.  The analyzer can be completely controlled and operated from any location in the world via IP (e.g., Ethernet, Internet) access.

Engineers are no longer restricted in their ability to diagnose and optimize Fibre Channel systems.  Whether operated locally, in the lab next door, or halfway around the world, FCAccess give engineers a revolutionary new development test tool for Fibre Channel systems.

FCAccess 1000A introduces a revolutionary new design for Fibre Channel test instrumentation that provides the user with unprecedented power and flexibility.  FCAccess features a client/server architecture with host-independent (Java-based) clients that can run on virtually any host computer (not just a PC).  The FCAccess client provides the ability to easily design complex triggers and filters, to completely control the system and to analyze the trace recordings.  As with other systems, the client can run on the local CPU to provide a fully-integrated,. stand-alone analyzer, but the real power of client/server architecture is the ability to run the analyzer entirely from remote locations.  This allows the development engineer to maintain an integrated development environment within a single desktop workstation.  Access to the server simultaneously, allowing concurrent sharing and collaborative diagnosis and problem-solving for geographically-distributed workgroups.

Ancot 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel FC2000

Rent me for $1000 a month

   Ancot Corporation introduced the industry's first 2Gbit protocol analyzer for Fibre Channel systems. The 2Gbit Fibre Channel standard is a new version of the Fibre Channel interconnect and data transfer system for Storage Area Networks (SANs) and other applications. The FCAccess 2000 continues to advance the innovations of the first FCAccess Analyzer, a new analysis system for Fibre Channel networks. The Fibre Channel analyzer introduces ChannelTrack, a system performance monitoring capability that tracks data flow and helps identify system bottlenecks and improve network performance. The analyzer captures FC traffic at 2Gbit speeds in native lOB format at rates exceeding 540MB/sec. To allow users to utilize captured data, the new product also includes WarpSearch, a hardware-assisted data search engine that searches for and finds data within seconds. FCAccess is the first network-attached analyzer for Fibre Channel, based on a host-independent Java client/server architecture. It also provides trace memory (up to 2GB) to allow users to record traffic sequences.

   FCAccess clients make it easy for users to design multilevel triggers and filters to control the system and analyze trace recordings. The client can run on the local server to provide a standalone analyzer, but the power of the client/server architecture is the ability to be run from remote locations. Using FCAccess, development engineers can maintain a development environment within a single desktop workstation. Since the server is available over any IP network, multiple users (clients) can access it simultaneously, allowing for diagnosis and debugging from different geographic locations. Much more than a trace viewer, the. FCAccess client allows the user to control and operate the analyzer from any location.

  The product is available in multiple configurations with system configurations starting under $35,000.
