PROLITE-60 Field Optical spectrum analyser0 pages

The PROLITE-60 is the result of an intense research work associated to the development of the latest optical communication systems.A priority for telecommunication operators all over the world is that of making more efficient their already existing optical networks. The first step is to increase their capa-city, which can be achieved by using more wavelengths simultaneously to transport the information.One of the biggest handicaps to implement this type of systems so far was the cost of the test equipment required to launch the projects. When various wavelengths aresharing one single fibre, the optical power meters are not normally bringing out much information about the problems that can be affecting to each one of them as the mea-surements are not wavelength selective.
Say we are injecting into a fibre eight
wavelengths out of eight laser sources.
When we are to check at the other end of
the fibre something as simple as whether
all laser sources are working properly, an
optical spectrum analyser is required. The PROLITE-60 is the first optical spectrumanalyser truly portable, rough and batte-
ries operated available at a really attracti-
ve cost.The PROLITE-60 is also suitable for manyother applications. Using the various avai-
lable options it is suitable for reflectometry,
analysis of materials, fibre sensors, testing
of photonic devices such as filters, atte-
nuators, couplers, isolators and other opti-
cal components. >
