46 channel DWDM spectrum
Advanced optical performance
JDSU’s OSA modules offer the full wavelength range of 1250 nm to 1650 nm for DWDM and
CWDM (metro) applications, combining outstanding wavelength accuracy and high dynamic
range. All instruments are equipped with an internal wavelength reference for on-line calibration
without requiring disruption of in-progress measurements. The internal wavelength calibrator is
based on a physical constant reference that guarantees unsurpassed wavelength accuracy over the
instrument’s lifetime without the need of external recalibration (JDSU patents).
Rugged and fast mechanical design
JDSU’s OSA modules have a new opto-mechanical design based on a maintenance-free, fast gal-
vanometer drive, providing the highest measurement speed and unsurpassed ruggedness for field
and lab applications and for continuous operation and monitoring (JDSU patents).

and out-of-range values
Easy to use
One-button “FOX” (Fiber Optic eXpert) testing guarantees that technicians need no special train-
ing to carry out a DWDM test, making JDSU’s instruments suitable for both novice and expert
technicians. An Auto-Test mode automatically identifies WDM channels, selects the appropriate
wavelength range, and provides auto scaling and system qualification according to pre-defined
parameters.
Powerful pass/fail link manager
Graphical and tabular display formats can be selected to assist in the installation, verification, and
troubleshooting of multi-channel DWDM systems. Built-in test functions deliver automatic pass/
fail evaluations based on pre-defined alarms, saving time and providing technicians with a quick
and intuitive overview of the complete set of results.

Flexible measurement capability
In-depth analysis, featuring statistical evaluation, long-term monitoring, and automatic storage
capabilities, is provided. This allows for DWDM system performance verification, including the
variation of optical system parameters (wavelength, power, and OSNR) as well as a series of mea-
surements over a defined period of time. Resulting reports are provided with average, minimum,
maximum, and standard deviation values of the measured parameters over time.
EDFA test application
Built-in test applications
Test applications for optical amplifiers (EDFA), laser sources (DFB and FP), and LEDs facilitate net-
work component verification.
