MS9740B Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA)
The benchtop Optical Spectrum Analyzer MS9740B features wide dynamic range, high resolution, and fast sweep speeds over a wavelength range of 600 nm to 1750 nm. It supports multimode fiber input and is ideal for manufacturing and evaluating 850-nm band VCSEL modules.
As well as keeping the same functions and performance as its predecessor, the MS9740B slashes measurement processing times by up to half while overcoming problems of decreased measurement sensitivity caused by increased processing speed.
Moreover, it retains optical active device (LD-Module, DF-LD, FP-LD, LED, PMD, WDM, Opt Amp, and WDM Filter) measurement menu screens for evaluating devices. It supports all-at-once measurements of key evaluation items, such as optical center wavelength, level, OSNR, spectrum width, etc., and displays these results at one screen.
Key Features
- Wide dynamic range and high-speed measurement at optical receiver bandwidths used commonly by customers within production lines for optical active devices - SMSR measurement at 45 dB minimum - Maximum measurement processing time of 0.35s (sweeping 30-nm wavelength)
- Facilitates Stable Production of High-output LDs - ±1.4 dB SMSR reproducibility
- Same key functions and performance as predecessor, supporting various production-line environments - Wide wavelength band (600 nm to 1750 nm) for evaluating all optical active devices - Nine application menus for LD-module, WDM, etc., measurements
