EXFO FTB-5230 1250 to 1650 nm Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) Module

The Exfo FTB-5230 is a powerful optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) designed to meet the challenges of DWDM applications. With the increasing sophistication of communication networks comes the need for equally powerful test and measurement equipment designed to meet the challenges of DWDM. Whether testing involves manufacturing, installing and commissioning network fiber, or managing, maintaining, monitoring and troubleshooting performance elements, EXFO’s FTB-5230 Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSAs) are ready to handle any situation. Since CWDM systems generally use uncooled lasers, whose typical wavelength drift is 0.1 nm per degree Celsius, it is critical to track the evolution and drift of the lasers’ central wavelength. And since path attenuation can significantly vary within a single channel, passband drift also creates power drift. This is why it becomes extremely important to monitor—simultaneously for all CWDM channels—the evolution of peak power and wavelength over time. The FTB-5230 Optical Spectrum Analyzer’s Drift mode functionalities makes this an easy task. Specifications. Wavelength range (nm): 1250 to 1650. Resolution bandwidth FWHM (nm): <= 0.1.

Amplified Spontaneous Emission Source (ASE)
ASE, a process where spontaneously emitted radiation (luminescence) is amplified. In lasers and particularly in high-gain erbium-doped amplifiers, amplified spontaneous emission is usually an unwanted effect. It tends to limit the gain achievable in a single stage of a fiber optic amplifier to the order of 40–50 dB.

Dynamic Range
In a transmission system, the ratio of the overload level to the noise level of the system, usually expressed in dB. Ratio of the highest to lowest detectable signal of a system, expressed in dB.

Optical Power
Optical Power is usually measured in "dBm", or decibels referenced to one miliwatt of power. while loss is a relative reading, optical power is an absolute measurement, referenced to standards. You measure absolute power to test transmitters or receivers and relative power to test loss.

Relative Wavelength Accuracy
When randomly changing the wavelength and measuring the differences between the actual and displayed wavelengths, the relative wavelength accuracy is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value of all differences.

Wavelength
Wavelength is a term for the color of light, usually expressed in nanometers (nm) or microns (m). In Fiber Optics the wavelenghts mostly used are in the infrared region where the light is invisible to the human eye.
