Working Principle:
The AQ6370D uses a monochromator-based design. Incoming light enters through the input port and is collimated by a mirror. A diffraction grating disperses the light spatially by wavelength. The dispersed light is focused onto a two-dimensional InGaAs detector array. Each pixel on the array corresponds to a specific wavelength. The analog signals from the detector are digitized, processed, and displayed as a power-versus-wavelength spectrum. The built-in reference source provides periodic wavelength calibration.

Advantages & Highlights:

• Widest wavelength coverage in its class (1200–2400 nm)
• Sub-0.02 nm resolution for detailed spectral analysis
• 70 dB dynamic range enables measurement of both strong and weak signals simultaneously
• Fast 0.2-second sweep speed for production-line testing
• Built-in analysis functions eliminate need for external software
• SCPI-compatible remote control for automated test systems

Applicable Industries:

• Telecommunications (fiber optic network deployment and maintenance)
• Data center interconnect testing
• Optical component manufacturing (laser, filter, WDM characterization)
• Research and development laboratories
• Fiber optic sensor manufacturing
• CATV and broadcast system testing

Installation Requirements:

• Place on a stable, level bench away from direct sunlight and vibration sources
• Ensure at least 100 mm clearance behind the unit for ventilation
• Connect to a grounded AC power outlet with stable voltage (±10%)
• Use clean, dry compressed air (if available) to blow dust from optical connectors before connection
• Connect the LAN cable for remote operation and data transfer

Usage Precautions:

• Never connect an optical fiber with the transmitter powered on without an attenuator (risk of detector damage)
• Maximum input power must not exceed +20 dBm without an inline attenuator
• Clean all optical connectors with lint-free wipes and isopropyl alcohol before each use
• Allow 15 minutes warm-up time for wavelength accuracy to stabilize
• Do not open the chassis; internal optical alignment is factory-set
• Store in a dry environment with desiccant packs to prevent detector degradation
