WaveAnalyzer 1500S
Quick Overview
The WaveAnalyzer 1500S Optical Spectrum Analyzer is a real-time, very-high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer for R&D and production test applications. Based on Coherent’s fast-stepping solid-state laser, the WA 1500S uses coherent detection techniques to achieve an outstanding combination of resolution, dynamic range and measurement speed. Instrument versions are available for C- and L-bands.
This next-generation Optical Spectrum Analyzer provides spectral measurements with sub-pm resolution at an update rate of 4 measurements per second across the entire C- or L-band. Scanning across smaller spectral regions is even faster, with update rates of over 10 measurements per second across any 200 GHz window, enabling interactive adjustment of optical components and systems.
