This unit
The Ando AQ6310B is a precision optical spectrum analyzer for characterizing light sources, optical fibers, filters, and optical components across the 400–1750 nm wavelength range. It delivers wavelength accuracy to ±0.5 nm at 25°C and ±1 nm across the operating temperature range, with resolution bandwidth selectable from 0.1 to 10 nm depending on wavelength region. The instrument measures optical power from −70 to +10 dBm across its full range, with extended sensitivity to −80 dBm in the 600–1600 nm band.
High-speed sweep capability completes 100 nm spans in 1 second or less.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What wavelength range and power measurements does the Ando AQ6310B cover?
- The AQ6310B operates across 400–1750 nm with a power measurement range of −70 to +10 dBm (400–1750 nm) and −80 to +10 dBm in the 600–1600 nm band. This broad spectral coverage and high dynamic range make it well-suited for characterizing broadband sources, DWDM systems, and passive optical components in both laboratory and field environments. The instrument delivers sharp resolution and fast measurement speeds for demanding optical component analysis.
- What is the condition of this used Ando AQ6310B, and what has been verified?
- This unit is listed as used equipment and has been inventoried and inspected by our team at Aumictech. We verify core functionality and mechanical condition prior to listing; however, we recommend independent calibration verification if measurement accuracy to published specifications is critical for your application. Calibration services are available separately to restore full metrological traceability.
- What calibration options are available for the AQ6310B?
- We offer calibration services for the AQ6310B starting at $450, which can be arranged separately from the instrument purchase. Calibration typically covers the full wavelength range and power measurement specifications to restore traceability to NIST standards. Contact our team for lead time and service scope details specific to your measurement requirements.
- What interfaces and control options does the Ando AQ6310B support?
- The AQ6310B features GPIB (IEEE-488) connectivity for remote instrument control and automated measurement routines. The instrument operates on 100–120 VAC or 220–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power input (~150 VA consumption). Compatible control software and driver support depend on your host platform; consult the user manual or contact us for compatibility details with your specific data acquisition or test automation environment.
