Finisar Introduces Optical Test Instrument for High-Resolution Spectral Analysis in R&D and Production Applications
SUNNYVALE, CA, Feb 28, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR) today introduced the
WaveAnalyzer 1500S High-Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyzer. The
WaveAnalyzer 1500S provides a unique combination of ultra-high
resolution and high-speed spectral analysis making it ideal for
Research & Development as well as Production applications. This
optical test instrument utilizes coherent detection and offers
sub-picometer wavelength resolution across the entire C-band of
optical communication systems. For example, a full C-band scan with
20 MHz spectral resolution takes only 1/4 of a second while a
detailed spectral analysis of a 100 GHz window can be obtained in
under 25 milliseconds.
This combination of fast measurement speed, high sensitivity, and low
noise floor arising from the use of coherent detection dramatically
cuts test time. In addition, it enables R&D engineers and scientists
to obtain more accurate results in less time. The WaveAnalyzer 1500S
has a very small footprint and low power consumption, simplifying its
integration into lab and production test systems.
Finisar also announced today the availability of the WaveShaper 100S
Tunable Optical Filter. This new filter has been optimized for use in
production test applications where the precise control over the
filter bandwidth and center frequency ensures support for current
test requirements as well as next generation Flexgrid(TM)-based
networks and subsystems. For test development, the WaveShaper 100S
can be controlled using Finisar's intuitive WaveManager graphical
user interface. In high-throughput test environments, the simple
Application Programming Interface supports both Windows and Linux.
The complete WaveShaper family of programmable optical filters,
including the WaveAnalyzer 1500S, will be on display at OFC/NFOEC
from March 19-21 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Finisar's booth
#2405.
WaveShaper Workshop at OFC/NFOEC
On Monday, March 18 Finisar will conduct a WaveShaper Workshop at
OFC/NFOEC. This free workshop will be held at the Anaheim Convention
Center and will focus on recent advances in programmable optical
filtering. To register for this event or for additional information
