Feature:
- Excellent “Close-In” Dynamic Range
Accurately characterize 50 GHz
WDM system performance
Fast sweep speeds at high
sensitivity to maximize measurement throughput
Agilent’s new application concept
makes complex and repetitive measurements simple
- Benchtop and Portable Platforms
Choose between a large screen or
small footprint package
- The distinction between specifications and characteristics is
described as follows:
Specifications describe warranted
performance.
Characteristics provide useful,
but nonwarranted information about the functions and performance of
the instrument.
General
- The Agilent 86140A and 86142A optical spectrum analyzers are high
performance benchtop instruments that offer a combination of
flexibility, high accuracy and throughput for both R&D and
manufacturing environments. These are complimented by the portable
Agilent 86143A and 86145A, providing performance in a compact 14.5
kg package for environments where small size and weight are
important.
- The specifications apply to all functions autocoupled over the
temperature range 0 to 55° C and relative humidity <95% (unless
otherwise noted). All specifications apply after the instrument’s
temperature has been stabilized after 1 hour continuous operation
and the auto-align routine has been run. Unless otherwise noted,
specifications apply without USER CAL.

Dynamic Range
• Dynamic Range is a measure of the ability to
see low-level signals that are located very close (in wavelength)
to a stronger
signal. In electrical spectrum analyzers, this
characteristic is generally called shape factor.
Sweep Time
• Maximum Sweep Rate refers to the maximum rate
that the instrument is able to acquire data and display it. This
rate
may be limited by multiple internal processes.
• Sweep Cycle Time refers to the time required
to make a complete sweep and prepare for the next sweep. It can be
measured as the time from the start of one
sweep to the start of the next sweep
