As the demand for access to more information increases, the need
for greater capacity on transmission systems drives component
manufacturers and network equipment manufacturers to push their
capabilities to new limits. The successful design and deployment of
DWDM systems requires that stringent performance criteria are met in
order to guarantee quality of service. With Agilent multi-wavelength
meters, you will be able to address these demands with confidence.
The Performance You Need – When You Need It
The Agilent family of multi-wavelength meters is just that – a family.
Each model uses compatible SCPI remote commands. You pay for only the
performance you need, when you need it. If your requirements become
more demanding in the future, you can substitute another Agilent multi-
wavelength meter, avoiding unnecessary cost and time developing new
code for your test system. With the new 86122A, you can upgrade to a
unit with the best performance available. Agilent multi-wavelength meters
allow you to optimize test costs while protecting your investments.
Simultaneously Measure up to 1000 Wavelengths and Powers
The Agilent 86120B, 86120C and 86122A multi-wavelength meters,
like other, Michelson interferometer-based wavelength meters, allow
you to measure the average wavelength of the input signal. In addition,
the Agilent multi-wavelength meters – with advanced digital processing –
accurately and easily differentiate and measure up to 1000 (200 and 100
for the 86120C and 86120B, respectively) discrete wavelengths.
Agilent multi-wavelength meters simultaneously measure the
individual powers of discrete wavelengths, offering the following
measurement capabilities:
•
1 to 1000 wavelengths and powers
•
Average wavelength and total power
•
Up to ±0.2 ppm wavelength accuracy
•
Up to 5 GHz wavelength resolution
•
Calibrated for evaluation in air or vacuum
•
Wavelength units in nm, THz, or wave number (cm-1)
•
Amplitude units in dBm, mW, or µW
•
OSNR and averaged OSNR for WDM SONET/SDH systems
•
Rugged design to withstand strong shocks and vibrations
WDM Transmission Systems
Combining measurement performance with reliability, the Agilent
multi-wavelength meters allow easy and accurate verification of
optical carrier performance in transmission systems by measuring,
wavelength, power and optical signal-to-noise ratios during design
and manufacturing test. The 86122A multi-wavelength meter is
optimized for measuring ultra-dense channel spacing with an absolute
wavelength accuracy of up to ±0.2 ppm (±0.3 pm referenced to 1550 nm).
With a resolution of <5 GHz, it is an ideal solution for the design and
manufacturing of next-generation optical networks.
With a rugged and portable package, the 86120B and 86120C
multi-wavelength meters are ideal for optical network commissioning
and monitoring applications. With the 86120C resolution of <10 GHz
(<20 GHz for the 86120B) and absolute wavelength accuracy of ±2 ppm
or ±3 pm at 1550 nm (±3 ppm, ±5 pm at 1550 nm for the 86120B),
you can confidently verify system performance of DWDM systems with
channels spaced at <50 GHz.
Sources
The superior wavelength and amplitude measurement capabilities of
the Agilent 86120B, 86120C and 86122A multi-wavelength meters
