Provider of optical communication systems, MRV Communications, has launched a new, advanced Fiber Driver optical spectrum analyzer for optical performance analysis of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system.
The Fiber Driver has a unique optical monitoring ability to allow both preemptive and continuous measurement of optical performance. The Fiber Driver removes the requirement for stand-alone optical spectrum analyzers in optical network’s nodes, and considerably reduces OPEX.
Fiber Driver optical spectrum analyzer
Performance monitoring of a dense wavelength division multiplexing system needs wavelength monitoring to assure that the light has passed within the optical parameters and spectral range. This confirms that the optical routes are functioning properly. The optical spectrum analyzer offers an improved optical channel monitoring operation, which allows active wavelength identification, their optical signal-to-noise ratio and optical power levels. The measurements can be communicated to any kind of management platform for fault isolation, optical service visibility and inventory management.
MRV’s President of Optical Communications Systems, Mary Jane Gruninger stated that the optical spectrum analyzer enhances the Fiber Driver optical transport solution and allows customers to get improved visibility and availability of the optical services.
