Optical Spectrum Analyzer

The OSA20 is the industry's most advanced optical spectrum analyzer for R&D and manufacturing

Fast
The fastest OSA of its kind with a maximum sweep speed of 2000 nm/s.

High performance
The OSA20 features a state-of-the-art monochromator that yields a resolution bandwidth of 20 pm, steep edges and low stray light. This allows for full analysis of even extremely complex signals such as novel modulation formats, superchannels, flex-grid and DWDM signals down to 12.5 GHz spacing. Moreover, the instrument has a high wavelength accuracy over the full wavelength range with ±10 pm specified over 1500-1640 nm.

User-friendly interface
Navigation, scrolling and zooming using an intuitive 12-in color touchscreen, an industry first.
