OSA 1000 Series

The OSA 1000 Series is a grating‑based optical spectrum analyzer designed for spectral test and measurement of optical sources, amplifiers, transceivers, and passive components.

As a 2‑slot PXI module, it supports dense, automated test systems that reduce footprint and cost while delivering stable, repeatable performance in high‑volume production.

Available in multiple wavelength ranges, different models align to specific application requirements, providing cost‑effective, targeted performance.

Detailed optical specifications, wavelength coverage, and performance limits are provided in the OSA 1000 Series spec sheet.

Grating-based architecture

Accurate measurement of optical spectrum without artifacts: good dynamic range, high optical throughput, high spectral resolution and high wavelength accuracy.

Fast sweeping speed

The OSA has been designed with a fast scanning time optimized for production and manufacturing test.

Seamless PXI integration for single platform testing

Take advantage of PXI’s integrated triggering and synchronization capabilities across electrical and optical instruments and conduct all your DUT characterization on one test platform.

Simple, intuitive operation with CohesionUI™

CohesionUI makes it simple to control the OSA from your PC or mobile device. Its cutting edge design offers  a sleek modern interface, cross device compatibility, customizable views and remote network access.
