OSA Modules: High performance OSA-500 Series for T-BERD/MTS-8000 Platforms

OSA Modules: High performance OSA-500 Series for T-BERD/MTS-8000 Platforms

Highlights

• OSA-500R/500RS with in-band OSNR method to measure the true in-band OSNR in ROADM-based systems
• InBand OSNR measurement time is significantly reduced using a fast polarization controller
• Internal online wavelength calibration guarantees highest wavelength accuracy and requires no recalibration, thus significantly reducing service costs
• High filter selectivity and lab optical performance over the full band, from 1250 to 1650nm, in a field-modular design

Applications

• Measurement of the true in-band OSNR in Agile Optical networks including ROADM testing and dispersion compensating modules
• DWDM and CWDM system testing during installation, maintenance, and network upgrade
• Automated DWDM passive and active component testing
• System verification testing according to the customer’s preset limits
• Verification of ROADM configurations in Agile Optical Networks
• Full-band optical spectrum analyzer for the ONT platform, MTS-8000 T-BERD 8000, MTS-6000 T-BERD 6000

Key Features

• New Optical Polarization Splitting method (OPS-method, VIAVI pat pending) for measuring the true in-band OSNR in ROADM based networks
• Future-proof design with a wide tuning range of 1250 to 1650 nm that is suitable for all optical DWDM and CWDM (Metro) networks up to 100GBps
• Channel drop option for troubleshooting and fault location. lsolation of a single channel out of the entire spectrum for further in-depth signal analysis with BERT or a Q-factor meter
• Software option for PMD testing based on the fixed analyzer PMD test method
• Built-in optical component test applications for laser diodes, LEDs, and optical amplifiers
