UltraSpan
®
for the Lab
Research and Development is a critical component of innovation and relies on a variety of instruments
used during the design, verification, and production of optical communications network equipment.
Finisar’s market leading Ultraspan
®
products for Test and Measurement are ideal instruments that deliver
reliable optical amplification where needed. 0ptical amplifiers and ASE light sources are useful in R&D
and manufacturing environments to assist with signal boosting, recuperating test-set losses, simulating
long network links, or acting as wideband sources of power for final testing of optical components
during mass-production.
UltraSpan Amplifiers for Test and Measurement
Optical telecom labs utilize multiple instruments to support the design,
verification and test of next-generation network equipment. These
instruments range from simple optical components (e.g. couplers, filters,
photodetectors, lasers, etc) to complex hardware enabling key functions
in telecom networks. Such hardware includes high bit-rate transponders
and transceivers, wavelength selective switches, Multi-Cast-Switches,
optical amplifiers, and integrated subsystems like ROADM linecards.
Finisar’s Ultraspan® amplifier products for Test and Measurement deliver
optical amplification where needed in the lab or on the production floor.
UltraSpan® amplifiers can be used as bench-top or rack-mountable
instruments, making them suitable for many types of applications
including research and development as well as mass-production.
Our products are easy-to-use and offer local or remote control using a
standard ethernet connection and proprietary GUI. Drivers are available
for easy integration in existing test-sets.
The UltraSpan Amplifier product line
includes the following:
Single Amplifier with 17dBm output power and 17dB fixed gain
Dual Amplifier with 20dBm output power and 23dB fixed gain
Single Amplifier with 19.5dBm output power and variable gain range
of 13-21dB
High power ASE source with 26.5dBm output power
