86142A Agilent High Performance Spectrum Analyzer

The Yestech 86142A analyzer is the best in the family of high-performance devices, ideally suited for critical WDM and EDFA applications where wavelength accuracy, dynamic range and low polarization dependence are critical. In the 86142A unit, many OSA high-performance parameters have been optimized to cover both the WDM C (conventional) and L (long) wavelength bands (1530 nm to 1600 nm). This extended WDM wavelength range also makes these OSAs ideal for testing WDM passive components (filters, multiplexers, and Bragg gratings), characterizing DWDM emitter lasers, and analyzing DWDM multichannel system performance.
