Unique Pol-Mux OSNR Measurement Technology

OSNR is a key performance indicator in WDM networks, providing a multichannel assessment of signal quality quickly. EXFO’s in-band OSNR addresses challenges in ROADM or 40 Gbit/s systems. The Pol-Mux OSA is the first third-party instrument for Pol-Mux OSNR measurements, offering a commissioning assistant for accurate ASE OSNR measurements.

Impairment Identification for Faster Troubleshooting

EXFO’s WDM Investigator provides detailed information about signal and noise for each channel, identifying impairments like crosstalk and nonlinear effects, and assessing their severity.

High Resolution for Dense Signal Analysis

The IQS-5240BP offers 33 pm resolution bandwidth, allowing analysis of densely spaced signals, including 25 GHz ITU-grid WDM signals, with high accuracy.

Analyze Any WDM Network

The IQS-5240S-P/BP OSA series supports DWDM applications and all channel spacings from 12.5 GHz DWDM to CWDM, ensuring no-compromise performance.

Flexible and Powerful Automation

With the IQS-600 platform’s Windows-based architecture, the OSA test modules can be controlled remotely, with easy setup and configuration storage.

Accurate Spectral Transmittance

The Spectral Transmittance software feature compares filtered wavelengths to nominal ones, showing insertion loss, channel isolation, and bandwidth at different power levels.

In-Depth DFB Laser Analysis

Characterize DFB laser sources for central wavelength, peak power, bandwidth, and more.

Advanced EDFA Analysis

Optimize EDFAs by measuring gain per channel, noise figure, gain flatness, and gain slope.

Drift Measurements

Monitor power, wavelength, and OSNR over time, with alarm notifications for threshold crossings.

EXFO Connect

Automated asset management with cloud storage for streamlined test operations.

Specifications
  • Optical rejection ratio at 1550 nm: 35-50 dB depending on spacing.
  • Dynamic range: -80 to +18 dBm per channel.
  • Wavelength range: 1250 to 1650 nm.
  • Resolution bandwidth: 0.065 to 0.033 nm.

IQS-5240S-P/BP Optical Spectrum Analyzers-2

IQS-5240S-P/BP Optical Spectrum Analyzers UNIQUE POL-MUX OSNR MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY OSNR has long been recognized as a key performance indicator in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks, because it provides a multichannel assessment of signal quality in a very short period of time. In addition, OSNR can predict bit error rate (BER) within just a few minutes, while typical BER tests must run for hours or days. The IEC 61280-2-9 standard defines OSNR measurement as the power ratio between the signal power and the noise at half the distance between the peaks. However, in ROADM or 40 Gbit/s...

IQS-5240S-P/BP Optical Spectrum Analyzers ADVANCED EDFA ANALYSIS Since amplifiers are critical elements in all networks, it is crucial to ensure that they are optimized, that the gain is well-distributed and that the output power is flat. Now, you can further optimize EDFAs by measuring key parameters such as gain per channel, noise figure, gain flatness and gain slope. More importantly, you can save and print this precious information. DRIFT MEASUREMENTS You can monitor power, wavelength and OSNR over time. Follow the evolution of these critical parameters, set relative or absolute thresholds...
