The New AQ6374 offers faster measurements and a purge function for general purpose optical testing from 350 to 1750 nm.
The New AQ6374 is the successor to Yokogawa's market leading Optical Spectrum Analyzer model AQ6315 (Ando). With monochromator-based diffraction aperture technology that provides high-precision measurement performance and accuracy, an improved user interface, and an air purge feature, the new instrument offers engineers a powerful benchtop tool for diffraction measurements. general purpose optical spectrum in the wavelength range 350 to 1750 nm. “The ability to measure over such a wide range of wavelengths made the original AQ6315A a very valuable test instrument for R&D centers conducting research on light spectra from the visible to the L region,” says Terry Marrinan, Vice President "The new AQ6374 achieves measurement and operating times 40 times faster than its predecessor, and also offers a number of new features, including the air purge system." By inheriting and improving control technologies originally developed for the AQ6370 series, the AQ6374 achieves operating and measurement speeds greater than 40 times those of the AQ6315A.
The ability to sample 100001 data points (100 times more than the AQ6315A) enables measurement over a wide wavelength range with high resolution, while data transfer rates during remote control via Ethernet are up to 100 times faster than for the AQ6315A. The measurement performance achieved by the monochromator technology includes a wavelength resolution of 0,05 to 10 nm, a wavelength accuracy of ±0,05 nm (633 to 1523 nm) or ±0,2 nm (350 to 1700 nm), single level ±1,0 dB accuracy, -80 dBm level sensitivity (900 to 1600 nm), -80 to +20 dBm measurable power range, near 60 dynamic range dB (peak ± 1,0 nm, resolution 0,05 nm), and a sweep time of less than 0,5 sec. Internal data storage of 512 Mbyte internal, and external data storage is supported via a USB interface. RJ-45 and GP-IB Ethernet interfaces are also incorporated.
With a built-in calibration source for fully automatic optical alignment and wavelength calibration, in a matter of moments. The new purge feature is designed to minimize the influence of water vapor absorption on spectral measurements by continuously supplying a pure purge gas, such as nitrogen (or just some dry air) to the monochromator via dedicated connectors on the monochromator. rear panel. The AQ6374 features an ergonomically designed graphical user interface for maximum ease of use, incorporating elements such as a full text menu, aggregation of measurement conditions, display of a “hard key” menu just like the panel layout, and a plot settings menu.
Thanks to its measurement capability over a wide range of wavelengths, the AQ6374 is the ideal Optical Spectrum Analyzer for those R&D teams that are testing light sources, optical filters, and sensors that operate in both the visible and light ranges. in the telecommunication range of the spectrum.
