VIAVI MTS-6000 / 8000 OSA Module 500 Series

Full range of optical spectrum analyzers for spectral measurements in CWDM, DWDM, and ROADM testing-based systems, providing true OSNR measurements based on the unique VIAVI in-band OSNR method.

Highlights:

OSA-500R / 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
High filter selectivity and lab optical performance over the full band, from 1250 to 1650 nm, in a field-modular design
