posted on 10/25/2005

"KU has developed a patented method of incorporating a Fabry Perot filter with a dispersive grating that provides high- resolution spectrum analysis over a wide optical bandwidth for significantly less cost and achieves higher resolution than current technologies provide."

Suggested Uses

A low-cost, high-fidelity benchtop OSA, can be easily incorporated into a handheld device, can be easily integrated into the transport layer of a link performance monitoring LPM network, provide greater flexibility in laboratory research

Innovation Details

Detailed Description

KU has developed a patented method of incorporating a Fabry Perot filter with a dispersive grating that provides high-resolution spectrum analysis over a wide optical bandwidth for significantly less cost and achieves higher resolution than current technologies provide. This OSA can provide a 100 times greater resolution than current OSA technology.
