The OSA20 is the most practical, high performance optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) on the market today. It is the fastest OSA based on diffraction grating that operates in the 1250 to 1700 nm range. Designed around the renowned filter technology, the OSA20 provides a fast, accurate, high dynamic range scan, eliminating compromises of conventional instruments. The OSA20 features powerful analysis tools assisting in the measurement of optical devices in R&D laboratories or manufacturing.

The advent of 5G, accompanied by technologies like silicon photonics and other integrated optics, has triggered the rapid transformation of the testing requirements for passive optical components. There are new things to consider now with the appearance of WDM channels spaced closer together, optical filters with sharper spectrums or high-port-count optical components. Let’s take a look how to address these parametric testing challenges.

EXFO is pleased to announce the introduction of the new solution in the family of Optical Spectrum Analyzers, the FTBx-5243-HWA. HWA stands for high wavelength accuracy. This EXFO’s solution is a game changer. Delivering a best-in-class wavelength uncertainty of ±10 pm in the C-band, it replaces both a regular OSA and an entry-level wavelength meter. Being able to perform all the required spectral tests using a single device brings about significant savings in capital expenditures and faster testing time.

Looking for innovative testing solutions for lab and manufacturing environments? The EXFO Optics has an array of industry-leading solutions that can greatly help in addressing parametric testing challenges.

EXFO’s Jean Marie Villain, Product Line Manager, introduces our Open Transceiver System (OTS) at ECOC 2018. Modular in design, the OTS enables compatibility between current or future high-speed transceivers and EXFO’s test platforms (lab and field). Inserts to test specific transceiver types, including those used in 400G systems (e.g., QSFP-DD, OSFP, COBO, and CFP8), eliminate the need to replace entire testing modules. See it featured here in our latest 400G and 100G test solutions, along with a FlexE interoperability demo between our 400G testing solution and the Xilinx® UltraScale™ FPGA VCU140 design platform.

This video demonstrates how to inspect multifiber ferrules (MT) on patchcords using EXFO’s wireless ConnectorMax scope and its automated multifiber tip and MT nozzle.

With Optical Explorer—the world’s first optical fiber multimeter (OFM)—frontline fiber techs can evaluate the quality of fiber links in seconds. It represents an opportunity for a fundamental shift in work organization—a way to sustain speed and keep pace with the high volume of deployment, activation and maintenance activities ahead.

While streaming video is everywhere, it is also the number one source of frustration for internet subscribers—particularly those on mobile networks. With video expected to make up 90% of 5G mobile traffic, it’s more important than ever to understand subscriber QoE. Unfortunately, operators have historically had little-to-no real-time visibility of OTT video streaming performance. Nova Active OTT video monitoring is the industry-first solution that detects and diagnoses the root cause of OTT video streaming problems in real time so that service providers can deliver a differentiated streaming experience to their customers. With it, service providers can correlate user experience (QoE) to network issues (QoS) within seconds. Learn more
