It is common for two monochromators to be connected in series, with their mechanical systems operating in tandem so that they both select the same color. This arrangement is not intended to improve the narrowness of the spectrum, but rather to lower the cutoff level.

This is due to the fiber having such a small cross section that only the first mode is transported. The O-band was the first to be implemented before the development of efficiency amplifiers in the C-band for long haul communication. Original O-Band (1260 – 1360 nm): The journey of fiber optics began with the O-band, chosen for ITU T G. This document outlines the specifications for a single-mode optical fiber and cable designed for use around the 1310 nm zero-dispersion wavelength, suitable for both the 1310 nm and 1550 nm regions, and compatible with analogue and digital transmission. An optical fiber is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide composed of a central core surrounded by cladding with a slightly lower refractive index.

A monochromator splits light into its component spectrum, then isolates and transmits a specific narrow band of wavelengths. The name is from Greek mono- 'single'; chroma 'colour' and Latin -ator 'denoting an agent'. The monochromator comprises a dispersive element, an entrance slit and mirrors to create a parallel beam similar to sunlight, and an exit slit and mirrors to extract the monochromatic light. A spectrometer separates an incoming light source into its spectral components, while measuring the outgoing light intensity emitted by a substance over a broad spectral range.

EXFO's new FTBx-5235 gives operators the power to address all the features of today's hybrid networks—DWDM wavelengths, CWDM wavelengths and Remote PHY—with a single tool. EXFO provides highly accurate, easy-to-use intelligent optical spectral analyzers (OSAs) tailored to both laboratory and manufacturing environments. Some typical applications are: testing of optical systems, for example wavelength division multiplexing systems in optical fiber. Optical Spectrum Analyzer consists of a narrow-band tunable optical filter, a photo-detector and low noise, highdynamic range electronics, as schematically shown in Fig 1.
