This unit
The Ando AQ6315A is an optical spectrum analyzer engineered for precision measurement across the 350–1750 nm spectral range. Its dual-pass monochromator design operates in selectable single-pass or double-pass modes, delivering high resolution and sensitivity for demanding optical characterization tasks. The instrument combines wavelength accuracy of ±0.05 nm (at 1510–1570 nm) with measurement capability from –90 dBm to +20 dBm across core telecom bands, making it suitable for WDM channel analysis, LED spectral profiling, and optical component testing.
