The Newport SR-160-CF is a fiber-adapted super cavity optical spectrum analyzer engineered for high-resolution spectral analysis in the 1320 nm wavelength band. The instrument’s 1-inch cavity design delivers exceptional sensitivity and resolution for precise characterization of optical sources across telecommunications and datacom applications. Direct fiber input integration eliminates coupling losses and streamlines connection to laser systems, LEDs, and broadband emitters. A modular design allows separation of the display/control unit from the traverse unit via slide-and-lock mechanism for flexible bench or system integration.
