Fast Wavelength Meter FWM8612
With the increasing demand for communication data, a large number of coherent communication modules based on wavelength-tunable lasers are used in the transmission backbone network.
The number of communication channels continues to increase, from the initial 40 waves to the current maximum of 800 waves, and each wavelength requires a wavelength meter to calibrate the tunable laser, so fast and accurate wavelength testing is more critical than ever.

Features and Benefits
|
High Speed The FWM8612 wavelength meter is in the ordinary single sampling mode, the sampling rate can be as high as 200Hz, which is 20-100 times that of the ordinary multi-wavelength based Michelson interferometer, the power accuracy is <0.5dB, and the repeatability is <0.02dB. |
 |
|
Internal trigger sampling mode FWM8612 has a built-in trigger signal generator, and its fast measurement function, as shown in the figure below, triggers 1000Hz to measure the switching cycle and stability of ordinary mechanical optical switches, and can observe the transient wavelength and power information of the tunable laser. |
 |
|
External trigger sampling mode FWM8612 fast wavelength meter supports 5V TTL trigger level and external trigger with sampling rate up to 1000Hz. It can simultaneously measure the scanning spectrum of tunable lasers, ModeMap scanning and channel calibration of tunable lasers, and synchronous monitoring of wavelength power of pulsed lasers. |
 |
|
Broadband working mode High-speed modulation will make the original narrow linewidth laser (usually kHz~MHz) spectral broadening (96Gbaud modulation signal)。 |
 |
|
Broadband working mode FWM8612 has been further optimized on the basis of the original, and finally realized the accurate wavelength measurement of 400G QAM16 (96Gbaud) signal. |
