Viavi Solutions Inc. OSA-500RS

The OSA-500RS is an optical spectrum analysis module and is part of Viavi Solutions' OSA 500 Series.

OSA-500RS Key highlights:

• OSA-500RS with in-band OSNR method to measure the true in-band OSNR in ROADM-based systems
• InBand OSNR measurement time is significantly reduced using a fast polarization controller
• Internal online wavelength calibration guarantees highest wavelength accuracy and requires no recalibration, thus significantly reducing service costs
• High filter selectivity and lab optical performance over the full band, from 1250 to 1650nm, in a field-modular design

OSA-500RS Applications:

• Measurement of the true in-band OSNR in Agile Optical networks including ROADM testing and dispersion compensating modules
• DWDM and CWDM system testing during installation, maintenance and network upgrade
• Automated DWDM passive and active component testing
• System verification testing according to the customer's preset limits
• Verification of ROADM configurations in Agile Optical Networks

OSA-500RS Key Features:

• New Optical Polarization Splitting method (OPS-method, JDSU pat pending) for measuring the true in-band OSNR in ROADM based networks
• Future-proof design with a wide tuning range of 1250 to 1650 nm that is suitable for all optical DWDM and CWDM (Metro) networks up to 100GBps
• Channel drop option for troubleshooting and fault location. lsolation of a single channel out of the entire spectrum for further in-depth signal analysis with BERT or a Q-factor meter
• Software option for PMD testing based on the fixed analyzer PMD test method
• Built-in optical component test applications for laser diodes, LEDs, and optical amplifiers
