OPTICAL WAVELENGTH METER

An Optical Wavelength Meter measures the peak wavelength(s) of an optical signal with extreme precision, often to picometer and sub picometer accuracy.

The use of proven Michelson interferometer technology coupled with an advanced FFT algorithm allows measurement of modulated and non-modulated signals from an optical transceiver. A flexible display can measure and display a single or multiple wavelengths (such as from a DWDM system) in a single operation.

Yokogawa's Optical Wavelength Meter offers an industry first extended life internal reference laser to maximize the usage time between intrusive maintenance tasks in today's demanding high speed optical R&D, as well as manufacturing applications.

The AQ6150 Series Optical Wavelength Meter is an ideal instrument for accurately measuring the optical wavelength of optical devices and systems used in telecommunication applications from 1270 to 1650 nm (including C&L Band). By employing a Michelson interferometer and a high speed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm, the AQ6150 series can measure not only a single wavelength laser signal, but also a multiple wavelength laser signal from a DWDM system and Fabry-Perot laser. Furthermore, this technology enables the measurement of modulated laser signals in addition to the CW signal from an optical transceiver. The optimized optical design and data processing routine significantly reduces the measurement time and improves manufacturing throughout.
