The current demand on high bandwidth data services and applications is growing at high speed. Data centers can already reach 400G thanks to the latest optical modules. The current and future optical network architectures are more and more adaptive and the capacity and reach is directly related with the spectrum utilization of the channels. Therefore the future network architecture needs extremely precise characterization of the optics and photonics elements involved.
WHY HIGH-RESOLUTION SPECTRAL ANALYSIS IS A MUST?
Optical communication technologies require a precise portrait of the signals, components and subsystems involved. And that includes the optical spectra. Although a regular optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) can provide good spectral information for many applications, most of optical technologies require much higher resolution in order to see further, to analyze in depth and even save time when exploring new ideas and launching new devices.
Measuring the optical spectrum with enough resolution is today a must to test the performance and ensure compatibility and compliance of optical sources or photonics systems.
