What it is

The Agilent 86141 B Optical Spectrum Analyzer is a precision optics instrument. The Agilent 86141 B Optical Spectrum Analyzer has a 30dBm +23dBm/10nm optical input maximum.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An optical spectrum analyzer measures the spectral content of light. An optical spectrum analyzer is used to separate incoming optical energy by wavelength and display the resulting distribution so users can examine peaks, bandwidth, and relative optical power across a spectrum.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

An optical spectrum analyzer is a metrology and test instrument rather than a wafer fabrication process tool. An optical spectrum analyzer is typically used around optical device development, incoming evaluation, bench characterization, and post-assembly verification where emitted or transmitted light must be examined.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

An optical spectrum analyzer is used to evaluate optical sources and optical signals in laboratory and production environments. An optical spectrum analyzer is applied to tasks such as checking source spectra, verifying wavelength content, observing line shape, and comparing optical behavior before and after a device or subsystem under test.
