High-Wavelength Resolution and Instantaneous Spectrometric Measurement at Wavelengths from 950 to 1700 nm
The SPG-V500 is an optical spectrum analyzer that measures spectra at multiple wavelengths simultaneously and in real time. With multimode fiber input, it reduces optical alignment effort and helps streamline laser measurements in the 950–1700 nm range.
Features
- Assess Spectral Behavior in the Blink of an Eye Using Simultaneous Multi-Wavelength Measurements
Using an array sensor, the SPG-V500 simultaneously acquires spectra at multiple wavelengths. Spectra can be acquired at intervals as short as the minimum integration time of 21 μs, enabling detection of spectral behavior such as mode hopping. It also supports pulsed laser measurement.
- Save time with easy setup, high resolution, and high-speed measurement
This instrument achieves a wavelength resolution of 50 pm or better not only for single-mode fibers but also for multimode fibers. Measurement is performed simply by orienting the optical fiber toward the light source, eliminating the need for precise optical alignment. Spectral measurements are instantaneous, reducing the total measurement time.
- Fast High Dynamic Range Measurements
With the optional high dynamic range measurement mode*, side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) up to 60 dB can be measured in under one second.
- *Optional feature
Example: measurement of a 1550 nm DFB laser
（Nominal wavelength: 1547 nm, Measurement wavelength range: approx. 14.3 nm）
