Optical transmission testing is a crucial process in ensuring the reliability and performance of fibre optic communication systems. At AJ Networx these tests measure various parameters of the optical signal, such as power attenuation, dispersion, and signal-to-noise ratio, to identify potential issues that could degrade signal quality and limit transmission distance. There are numerous test instruments employed for optical transmission testing, each tailored to assess specific aspects of the signal. For instance, optical power meters measure the absolute or relative power levels of the signal, while optical spectrum analysers (OSAs) characterize the signal's spectral properties. By implementing these tests on all our equipment we can guarantee optimal signal integrity and ensure the system functions as intended.
