EXCELLENT SIGNAL SEPARATION

The AQ6370B uses a newly developed high performance monochromator to achieve high wavelength resolution (0.02 nm) and wide close-in dynamic range (70 dB).
With the sharper spectral characteristics of the new monochromator, OSNR measurement of 50 GHz spacing DWDM transmission systems and EDFA evaluation with multiple wavelength sources can successfully be performed.

Close-in Dynamic Range
70 dB at peak ±0.4 nm, resolution setting 0.02 nm (typical)

WIDE MEASUREMENT RANGE

Power: +20 dBm to -90 dBm
The AQ6370B can measure optical power as high as +20 dBm, which enables direct measurement of high power sources such as optical amplifiers and pump lasers for Raman amplifiers. Measurement sensitivity can be chosen from seven categories according to test applications and measurement speed requirements.
Wavelength: 600 nm to 1700 nm
The AQ6370B covers not only telecommunication wavelengths, but also the visible light wavelength region which is used for home electronics, medical, and industrial material applications.
J009 Tm Aq6370 22J009 Tm Aq6370 23 Level sensitivity settings
NORM Hold, NORM Auto, NORM, MID, and HIGH (1, 2, and 3), that correspond to sensitivity from -60dBm through -90dBm.

High dynamic range mode settings
SWITCH mode is to obtain a better dynamic range by reducing an influence of stray-light. They are applicable in MID and HIGH mode.

MULTIMODE FIBER TEST CAPABILITY

The AQ6370B uses a free space input structure that can handle up to GI 62.5/125 multimode fiber. Multimode fiber is commonly used in high speed Ethernet network, such as GE-PON.
The free space input is also beneficial for measurement repeatability as insertion loss variation at the input connector is smaller than the other input type which has an optical fiber inside the monochromator.

PULSED LIGHT MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY

The AQ6370B can catch the peak power of a pulsed signal using PEAK HOLD or using an externally provided trigger to synchronize with the measured signal. It can be applied to the transmission loop testing of telecommunication systems, and also to the low power measurement at the early stage of laser chip development since it works in the high sensitivity modes.

Expedites Development of Automated Test Systems

 

The AQ6370B is equipped with GP-IB, RS-232C, and Ethernet (10/100BASE) interfaces to be connected with an external PC for remote access and building an automated test system. It is compatible with a standardized programming language and supports AQ6317 commands for easy programming. Macro Program is a useful built-in function for making a simple auto test program.


COMPATIBLE WITH SCPI

AQ6317 EMULATION MODE

The SCPI is an ASCII text based standard code and format that conforms to IEEE-488.2. The standard remote commands of the AQ6370B are compatible with SCPI. It can be used with most computer test languages and test application software.






 
The AQ6317 series is Yokogawa's best-selling optical spectrum analyzer. Since there are so many existing users all over the world, the AQ6370B supports private remote programming codes and formats of the AQ6317 series to make it easier for users to upgrade their current test environment.


Note. some commands may not be compatible due to changes in specifications and functions.

MACRO PROGRAMMING

LabVIEW® DRIVER SUPPORT

Macro programming enables user to easily create test procedures by recording the user's actual key strokes and parameter selections. One program can contain up to two hundred program lines, and programs can be called as subroutines to make the main program simple. Moreover, macro programs can control external equipment through Ethernet, RS-232C and GP-IB port (GP-IB2). Therefore, an external PC is not required to build a simple auto test system.


 
LabVIEW® is a popular test application software. Yokogawa can provide users with LabVIEW drivers for the AQ6370B.

Note. LabVIEW is a U.S. registered trademark of National Instruments.

Tm Aq6370 32
Enhanced Curve Fit Function
The Curve fit function is an approximation technique to exclude an influence of noise and/or signal overlapping on the waveform. Curve fit method can be chosen from Gaussian, Lorenz, 3rd Poly, 4th Poly, and 5th Poly. Curve fit can be applied to an individual trace. Fitting area can be set by line markers (L1 and L2).
Analysis mode
When WDM or WDM-NF analysis is executed, one of the curve fit methods is used for a baseline measurement. The curve fit method can be specified in the parameter window of each analysis.
Tm Aq6370 33
Example of curve fitting in selected areas
Noise level of amplified WDM signal can be estimated by using the curve fit in selected areas, even if noise between signals cannot be seen due to a limit of signal separation performance.
Tm Aq6370 34
Marker fitting
The fitting curve can also be applied to the marker positions set by user. For example, this can be used to measure a modulated signal spectrum.
