Apex OCSA-APX High Resolution Complex Optical Spectrum Analyser
Product Code:
OCSAAPX
Manufacturer: APEX Technologies
Ideal solution for Telecommunication applications, the APEX Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) Series is equipped with the high resolution of 20 MHz/0.16 pm, as well as other resolution bandwidth from 140 MHz to 250 GHz. Additionally, the complex OSAs offer additional time domain measurement capability, including intensity, phase and chirp measurements
Available options:
- The optical output of the built-in Tunable Laser Source (TLS), which could also be used for component analysis (tracking funciton);
- 2 additional PM inputs
- Polarisation analysis is possible through a polarimeter (SOP and DOP measurement). This option can displacy three polarisation modes: Jones graph, Poincaré sphere and Stokes parameter oscilloscope.
Features:
- Resolution from 250 GHz to 140 MHz, up to 20 MHz/0.16 pm High Resolution
- 3 models: C Band / L Band / C&L Band
- Dynamic range 78 dB
- Rectangular-shape resolution filters
- 2 channels, one per polarisation axis
- Built-in tunable laser source
- Component transmission/reflection analysis
- 5 MHz resolution optional

- Advanced modulation formats analysis
- Comb generator measurement
- Laser characterisation
- OSNR measurement
- OFDM analysis
- Optical sensor/component characterisation
Data handling:
- USB connectors
- Ethernet
- GPIB connector
