HP / Agilent 86142A High Accuracy Lightwave Optical Spectrum Analyzer

The benchtop HP / Agilent 86142A analyzer is a top of the range high performance unit ideally suited for critical WDM ａnd EDFA applications where wavelength accuracy, dynamic range ａnd low polarization dependency are essential. In the 86142A unit, many of the OSA high performance parameters have been optimized to simultaneously cover the WDM C (conventional) ａnd L (long) wavelength bands (1530 nm to 1600 nm). This extended WDM wavelength range also makes these OSAs ideal for testing WDM passive components (filters, multiplexors ａnd Bragg Gratings), characterizing DWDM transmitter lasers ａnd analyzing DWDM multi-channel system performance.
