AQ6370E Telecom Optical Spectrum Analyzer 600 - 1700 nm

World-Class Optical Performance

• Wavelength range: 600 to 1700nm
• High wavelength accuracy: ±0.008 nm typ.
• High wavelength resolution: 0.02nm
• Wide dynamic range: 78dB typ.
• Wide level range: +20 to -90dBm
• Fast measurement: 0.2 sec. (100nm span)
• Applicable to single-mode and multimode fibers

Standard and High-Performance Models

There are two models available, Standard and High performance. The High performance model provides even higher wavelength accuracy and dynamic range.

High wavelength resolution: 0.02nm

High Wavelength Accuracy: ±0.008 nm typ.

• High performance model: ±0.008 nm typ. (C band)
• Standard model: ±0.015 nm typ.(S+C+L band)

Note: The wavelength accuracy values in the table are typical values.

Ultra-High Dynamic Range: 78dB typ.

With the reduced stray-light in the monochromator, AQ6370E achieves ultra-high dynamic range of typ. 78dB.

Sharper spectrum measurement: HCDR mode

The HCDR (High Close-in Dynamic Range) mode is a feature for single longitudinal mode laser measurements that makes the spectrum around the peak sharper and the side modes more clearly visualized.
This mode is only available on the High performance model(-20).

Example of HCDR mode
Resolution setting 0.02 nm, High performance model

Stray-light suppression ratio: 80dB typ.

Sensitivity setting: MID
High dynamic mode: ON, typical

Wide Level Range: +20DBm to -90dBm

The AQ6370E can measure high power sources such as optical amplifiers and pump lasers for Raman amplifiers, and very weak optical signals as well. Measurement sensitivity can be chosen from seven categories according to test applications and measurement speed requirements.

• Improved level sensitivity: -85dBm (1000 to 1300nm)
• Smoothing Function - Reduce noise on the measured spectrum
• High dynamic mode - Obtain a better dynamic range by reducing the influence of stray-light, which is caused when the input is a strong optical signal.

Free Space Input

• Multimode and single mode fiber on the same OSA.
• AQ6370E's low insertion loss for multimode fiber is also beneficial to maintain the excellent measurement efficiency.

• Small insertion loss variation at the input
• connector increases measurement repeatability.

• No damage connecting fibers
• because there is no physical contact.

• APC level correction
• The APC level correction function corrects the level offset caused by an insertion loss of angled PC connector.

Up to 2x faster SMSR measurement: SMSR mode

The SMSR mode is the sensitivity setting dedicated for measuring the laser’s SMSR faster.
It can measure the SMSR up to twice as fast as the conventional sensitivity mode (TRAD MIDx2).

Note: Fast measurement may not be possible depending on the level of the optical spectrum.

Fast Remote Interface (Ethernet, GP-IB)

Wide Span Sweep yet High Resolution

The 20,001 data sampling points expands measurement range in a single sweep while keeping a high wavelength resolution.
This makes your measurement easier and more efficient than conventional systems.

Large touchscreen LCD

The high-resolution, responsive 10.4-inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen makes device operation even simpler and more intuitive. You can change measurement conditions, perform analysis, change the optical spectrum view as if you were operating a tablet device. In the optical spectrum view, the waveform view can be zoomed or shifted by a simple tap and drag.

USB ports

Four USB ports in total available on front and back facilitate the use of external devices such as a mouse, keyboard, external hard drives, and memory sticks.

Thumbnail file preview

The thumbnail allows an easy route to quickly find a particular file out of many files in internal and external storage.

All-at once trace filing

This time-saving feature allows the user to save all seven traces in one file at once. Files are saved in CSV format and can be easily manipulated with a PC application software.
