  • Modulated channels can be used for Bit-Error Rate testing
  • Easy monitoring of Four-Wave Mixing

Applications

  • Simultaneously measure optical amplifier gain flatness and noise figure under conditions of full channel loading (high peak-to-valley extinction ratio extends NF measurement capability to high-power booster amplifiers)
  • Measure the full band OSNR and channel power evolution over links consisting of multiple spans and optical amplifiers without the need for costly banks of DFB lasers
  • Measure magnitude of inter-channel Raman pumping along a span for fully-loaded band case
  • Test DWDM demux components
