Flexgrid High Resolution Optical
Channel Monitor (OCM)
FOCM01FXC1MN
Featuring unprecedented resolution, power and frequency accuracy, the Flexgrid® High
Resolution Optical Channel Monitor (OCM) by Finisar offers optical spectrum analyser (OSA)
performance in an ultra-compact, cost effective optical networking component.
Through proprietary and patented coherent detection and sub-GHz wavelength
accuracy, Finisar’s OCM features highly accurate power monitoring of fine spectral slices
independent of adjacent channel power and without the need for de-convolution, making
it ideal for next generation networks comprised of individual carriers densely packed
into multi-carrier super-channels. Effectively future proof, it not only complements but
enhances new transceiver technologies which allow transmission rates and modulation
formats to be configured for optimum spectral efficiency over any transmission link in an
adaptive manner.
Coupled with rapid scanning and powerful advanced processing of spectral characteristics,
such as valid channel detection, center wavelength and OSNR monitoring, it enables
precise network tuning during dynamic network actions and reliable long-term operation.
The unique challenges of extending SDN to the optical transport layer are addressed by
the network instrument-level telemetry enabled by Finisar’s High Resolution OCM.
The High Resolution OCM represents the latest addition to Finisar’s industry leading
ROADM and wavelength management portfolio, offering unparalleled value to system and
network providers through complementary innovations.
