(Any custom range available upon request)
Thanks to the integration of our own homemade external cavity tunable laser source (TLS) as a local oscillator, we offer a large range of Optical Complex Spectrum Analyzers mostly between 1030 nm to 1630 nm. We can reach ultra-high resolution in the T, O, E, S and C+L bands, thanks to our mode hop-free local oscillator technology. The TLS can be integrated inside the equipment or into an external benchtop as an option. The advantage of the latter configuration is that the TLS can be used as a local oscillator and be connected to our other equipment that are also based on interferometric principle (OSA, OFDR).

Principle
Our series of Optical Complex Spectrum Analyzers are high resolution Optical Spectrum Analyzers with the added benefit of measuring the optical phase as a function of frequency.
Use it as an Ultra-high Performance Optical Spectrum Analyzer
With up to 500 times better spectral resolution than the best standard grating-based Optical Spectrum Analyzer available on the market, the integrated Optical Spectrum Analyzer can display your signal’s real spectrum shape instead of just its envelope.

Use it as an Ultra-high Performance Optical Modulation Analyzer
With up to 50 times better bandwidth than the best temporal Optical Modulation on the market, the integrated Optical Modulation Analyzer can measure any actual and future Symbol rate signal with a much higher precision than its competitors.
Now able to do PRBS Patterns Analysis
Our series of Optical Complex Spectrum Analyzers offer the possibility of doing PRBS patterns analysis for a range of repetitive patterns, depending on the symbol rate of the signal under test.
Phase Complex Optical Measurement Setup
A complex measurement needs not only the intensity but also the phase as a function of frequency. To measure the phase, the signal under test must be a repetitive signal with a pattern frequency between 70 MHz to 900 MHz. Commercially available PPG and AWG are able to generate the right pattern length to match this pattern frequency range for any signal-rate. A reference RF pattern clock repetition signal is also required.
