Optical Spectrum Analyzer
The HP 71450B, 71451B, and 71452B are diffraction-grating-based optical spectrum analyzers that provide spectral measurements of optical power versus wavelength and advanced functions for measuring and characterizing optical components, amplifiers, LEDs, DFB lasers, and Fabry-Perot lasers.
This technical specifications sheet describes the measurement accuracy and operating conditions of the HP family of optical spectrum analyzer systems. The HP 71450B includes an HP 70950B module, the HP 71451B includes an HP 70951B module and the HP 71452B includes an HP 70952B module.
The specifications apply to all functions autocoupled over the temperature range 0 to 55 C and relative humidity <95% (unless otherwise noted). All specifications apply after the instrument s temperature has been stabilized after 1 hour continuous operation and the auto-align routine has been run. Unless otherwise noted, specifications apply without USER CAL.
Characteristics and Specifications:
- The distinction between specifications, characteristics (shown in italicized text), typical performance, and nominal values is described as follows:
- Specifications describe warranted performance.
- Characteristics provide useful, but nonwarranted information about the functions and performance of the instrument.
- Typical Performance, where listed, is not warranted, but indicates performance which most units will exhibit.
- Nominal Value is an expected, but not warranted, value of the parameter.
