Product information "IntelliGuard™ OCPM Optical Spectrum Analyzers"

1230-1670 nm; No. of Channels 40-160; Channel Spacing 50, 100 GHz, 4.5 nm; Response Time for Raw Data <1 ms; Power Resolution 0.1 dB; Interface USB, RS-232, Dual-port RAM

BaySpec’s IntelliGuard™ OCPM optical spectrum analyzers are embedded, integrated spectrum analyzers delivering precise measurement and powerful processing capabilities for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) applications as well as coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) applications compliant with the ITU-T G.695 standard.

Within this series of optical spectrum analyzers, three versions are available:

IntelliGuard™ OCPM C/L Band: Covers C- and/or L-band wavelength ranges and provides simultaneous measurements of up to 160 channels spaced 50 GHz apart.
IntelliGuard™ OCPM CWDM: Combines up to 18 wavelengths into a single fiber. CWDM technology uses ITU standard 20 nm spacing between the wavelengths, from 1310 nm to 1610 nm.
IntelliGuard™ OCPM Wideband: Covers S-, C- and L-band wavelength ranges and provides simultaneous measurements at CWDM and DWDM wavelengths.

High reliability (GR-1209/1221 qualified) is achieved through a rugged mechanical design with no moving parts. Periodic calibration is not required. Input/output (I/O) is provided through a dual port RAM interface accessed through ADD/DAT bus direct connection or serial (RS232 or USB) communications.

IntelliGuard™ OCPM optical spectrum analyzers employ a highly efficient volume phase grating (VPG®) as the spectral dispersion element and an ultra-sensitive InGaAs array detector, thereby providing high-speed parallel processing and continuous spectral measurement. As an input, the device uses a tapped signal from the main data transmission link through a single mode fiber, then collimates it with a micro lens. The signal is spectrally dispersed with the VPG®, and the diffracted field is focused onto an InGaAs array detector. The control electronics read out the processed digital signal to extract required information. Both the raw data and the processed data are available to the host through the chosen interface.
