• Scalable architecture - add more stations any time

• ± 0.002 nm absolute wavelength accuracy

• Up to 128 detector channels available per station

• Remote source laser can be shared by up to 8 workstations

• High speed scanning (user controllable) up to 40 nm/s

• Flexible easy-to-use software

• Customized applications through dynamic link libraries (DLLs)

• 24/7 service and support

The Swept Wavelength System SWS2000 series remains the industry standard

solution for measuring insertion loss (IL), polarization dependent loss (PDL),

return loss (RL) and directivity with high wavelength resolution in both research

and development (R&D) and production environments. Currently used at more

than 80 customer sites, with over 8500 detector channels deployed, the SWS test

platform validates optical performance for the latest in optical components and

modules including: ROADMs, Wavelength Switches, Tunable Filters and Circuit

Packs. The SWS system consists of a tunable laser source, a source optics module

(SOM), a control module, a receiver chassis, one or more detector modules and

application software.

1630 nm range, a high sweep speed of 40 nm/s, and a deep dynamic range of

> 70 dB, the SWS2000 provides excellent performance combined with a low cost

of ownership; the distributed architecture supports up to eight separate,

individually controlled measurement stations per source laser. Often purchased

initially as an R&D tool, this scalability in the number of measurement stations

provides customers the flexibility to transition the equipment from R&D to production.

Upgrade packages from legacy SWS systems to the SWS2000 platform are

available to ensure that existing SWS users receive the maximum benefit from

their existing capital infrastructure.
