WaveAnalyzers – Optical Spectrum Analyzers

Use one of our instruments if you’re an engineer working in advanced communications R&D or if you’re a technician on the manufacturing floor needing higher test throughput.

Our user-friendly tools offer a comprehensive analysis of optical signals in the C- or L-Bands with a host of features like auto-ranging. With no specs compromising, all WaveAnalyzers can deliver their highest spectral resolution and fastest sweep speed simultaneously.

WaveAnalyzers – Product Family Overview

Choose a portable (200A) model for lab use and field service, get a compact 400 model for R&D or production tasks, or choose the 1500S for the ultimate resolution and speed.
