ADVANTEST Q8344A 350 to 1750 nm Optical Spectrum Analyzer

The Advantest Q8344A is an optical spectrum analyzer with a wide wavelength range from 0.35 to 1.75 um. The usage of a Fourier spectrum system using a Michelson interferometer makes it possible to analyze coherence that cannot be obtained by the dispersing spectrum systems using monochromators. It exhibits its capabilities for evaluation of laser diodes for CDs and video disks. The built-in He-Ne laser used as the reference wavelength realizes a wavelength accuracy of ± 0.1 nm (1.3 um), ensuring a long-term measurement stability even without wavelength calibration. The Q8344A provides a maximum wavelength resolution of 0.05 nm (at 0.85 um), accommodating measurements of laser diodes with narrow mode intervals. The measurement speed is approx. 1.5 seconds (at 0.4 to 1.05 um and 0.8 to 1. 75 um) regardless of the analysis span, allowing it to be used as a system component. With the versatile display, analysis and processing functions , the Q8344A can be used for characteristic measurement applications for diverse components ranging from photo emitting elements such as laser diodes and LEDs to optical components such as optical fibers and filters .

Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a contiguous set of frequencies within which a fiber optic component, link or network will operate.

Extinction Ratio (ER)
Extinction Ratio is the ratio of two optical power levels, of a digital signal generated by an optical source, (example a laser diode), where P1 is the optical power level generated when the light source is "on," and P0 is the power level generated when the light source is "off." The extinction ratio may be expressed as a fraction, in dB, or as a percentage.

Optical Signal-to-noise Ratio (OSNR)
Optical Signal-to-noise ratio is the ratio between the signal power and the noise power in a given bandwidth. Most commonly a reference bandwidth of 0.1 nm is used. This bandwidth is independent from the modulation format, the frequency and the receiver. For instance a OSNR of 20dB/0.1nm could be given, even the signal of 40 GBit DPSK would not fit in this bandwidth. OSNR is measured with a Optical Spectrum Analyzer. It is generally measured at the wavelength of interest.

Repeatability
Repeatability is the variation in a number of repeated measured quantities when measurement conditions are changed and restored. The value corresponds to half the spread between the minimum and maximum value measured.

Wavelength Repeatability
Wavelength Repeatability is the random uncertainty in reproducing a wavelength after detuning and re-setting the wavelength. The wavelength repeatability is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value of all actual values of these wavelengths. Example test condition: uninterrupted TLS output power, constant power level, temperature within operating temperature range, coherence control off, short time span. Note: NOTE The long-term wavelength repeatability can be obtained by taken the wavelength repeatability and wavelength stability into account.
