EXFO's acquisition of Yenista Optics brought with it the OSA20; the fastest optical spectrum analyser of its kind. With a maximum sweep speed of 2000 nm/s, it uses a fixed monochromator bandwidth of 20 pm and a fixed sampling resolution of 2 pm for all scans delivery every measurement at the highest resolution with the highest accuracy. Sweep speed is determined solely by the choice of the sensitivity level: -55 dBm at 2000 nm/s down to -90 dBm by averaging over 380 scans with HIGH at 0.5 nm/s.
The instrument's monochromator utilises a renowned filter technology with a 20 pm bandwidth, steep edges and low stray light. Power is integrated over 2 pm steps resulting in 225,001 data points for a 450 nm span. This allows for DWDM channel analysis down to 6.25 GHz spacing. The OSA20 has a high wavelength accuracy over the full wavelength range with ± 10 pm specified over 1500-1640 nm.
A large twelve inch capacitive touchscreen with multi-touch gesture control allows very fast navigation, scrolling and zooming in an intuitive manner. Keyboard and mouse control are also available through USB interfaces.
