Abstract :
An optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) has been newly developed by the authors, utilizing a microelectromechanical system scanning mirror with 1.7-ms scan speed for the C-band and a wavelength resolution of 10 pm. This new OSA is suitable for wavelength-division-multiplexing performance monitoring that requires high speed and high wavelength resolution.
