Yokogawa Test&Measurement: AQ6380 Optical Spectrum Analyzer

Yokogawa’s AQ6380 Optical Spectrum Analyzer's optical wavelength resolution (down to 5 pm) enables optical signals in close proximity to be clearly separated and accurately measured.
Yokogawa’s AQ6380 Optical Spectrum Analyzer's optical wavelength resolution (down to 5 pm) enables optical signals in close proximity to be clearly separated and accurately measured. Waveforms that were previously not visible using a standard OSA, such as modulation side peaks in the laser spectrum, can now be accurately detected using the AQ6380. Additionally, the new RAPID sensitivity mode enables CW light sub-second measurement speeds up to 20X faster than the previous model, which reduces test time and increases productivity.

Judge’s Comment: “Grating-based optical analyzer with market leading resolution and wavelength range as well as enhanced automation for many measurement workflows.”
