详细资料： Optical Amplifier Analyzer AQ8423Z Dual Band Optical Amplifier Analyzer Switchable C-band and L-band Dual Band Optical Amplifier Analyzer Switchable C-band and L-band The AQ8423Z is a unique dual-range optical amplifier analyzer. In conjunction with an external optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) and light sources (such as tunable laser sources or DFBs), the AQ8423Z can measure gain and noise figure (NF) of optical amplifiers both in C-band and L-band. Two testing wavelength ranges can be switched internally by simple operation. The AQ8423Z employs the proven "Pulse method" technique. It utilizes 1 MHz modulation frequency, which is high enough to suppress a rise of ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) level during off signal. The AQ8423Z can achieve very high accuracy in ASE measurement resulting in accurate NF measurement. Since the AQ8423Z can eliminate all DWDM signals simultaneously during ASE measurement, it can obtain measurement results under actual DWDM operational conditions. Features Pulse method with 1 MHz modulation High enough frequency to suppress a rise of ASE during a measurement C- and L-band measurement capability Measurement range is switchable, either to C-band (1520-1580 nm) or L-band (1560-1620 nm) DWDM measurement mode A DWDM amplifier, with multi-tone signals, can be measured under its actual operational conditions. Hands-free calibration New hands-free calibration function, added to full user calibration feature, makes daily calibration simple and quick.

WDM Signals + ASE ASE The AQ8423Z modulates signals from external light sources with AOM1, and AOM2 selects the timing to measure, signal or ASE (Amplified spontaneous emission). When AOM2 is set for ASE measurement, AOM2 eliminates the source signal and SSE (Source spontaneous emission) without affecting the ASE level (to increase input power, a booster amplifier can be added to external light sources, the SSE includes ASE of the booster amplifier in this case). Thus, the AQ8423Z can measure the ASE at a signal wavelength very accurately. The modulation frequency is also very important. It strongly affects ASE measurement accuracy, which results in an error on NF. In order to minimize ASE measurement errors, the AQ8423Z modulates a source signal with 1 MHz, which is high enough to suppress a rise of ASE level, to obtain high accuracy.
