With the AP2040A series Apex Technologies sets a new standard in Optical Spectrum Analysis, its different approach enables it to measures in far greater detail than ever before.
While monochromator based Optical Spectrum Analyzers can achieve a maximum resolution of 10pm,the AP2040A series is based on an intereferometric principle which is able to dramatically increase this resolution by a factor 62, achieving a 0.16pm resolution (20MHz) at an absolute wavelength accuracy of
+/-3pm and a close-in dynamic range of 60dB at 10pm.
With a price in the same order as conventional monochromator based OSA's, it makes the AP2040A the first of its kind in the next generation Optical Spectrum Analyzers.
