Optical Spectrum Analyzers
Optical Spectrum Analyzers for Visible, Telecom, and SWIR Measurement
An optical spectrum analyzer measures optical power as a function of wavelength; it is not an RF spectrum analyzer. Select an XOA instrument by first matching the source wavelength, then checking the minimum selectable wavelength resolution, sensitivity, dynamic-range test conditions, input coupling, sweep requirements, and analysis functions needed for the application.
The combined portfolio reaches from 350 nm to 2500 nm, but no single listed model covers that complete span. Published limits are conditional where noted, so quote requests should include the wavelength band, expected power, required line separation, source or device type, and preferred optical interface.
