Sycatus A0040A Optical Noise Analyzer

Overview

The Sycatus A0040A Optical Noise Analyzer is a sophisticated tool for investigating optical frequency noise characteristics of laser sources. The system separates white noise from 1/f noise components, enabling derivation of white noise linewidth composed entirely of white noise. Beyond optical frequency noise analysis, the A0040A includes conventional laser linewidth measurement functions and can share the same Keysight X-series signal analyzer with the A0010A RIN Measurement System, improving measurement convenience and investment efficiency.

Key Features

• Optical frequency noise captured and analyzed as power spectral density
• Separation of 1/f noise and white noise components with Lorentzian linewidth analysis
• High sensitivity for linewidth measurement down to below 1 kHz
• Integrated conventional delayed self-heterodyne interferometer function
• Optional A0070A Optical Frequency Analyzer for real-time FMCW LiDAR analysis

Applications

• Laser frequency noise characterization for optical communications
• Semiconductor laser development and quality control
• FMCW LiDAR laser development with optional A0070A module
