Apex Technologies

APEX Technologies began to develop instruments back in 1998 in collaboration with a group of France Telecom scientists. APEX Technologies uniqueness lays in their different approach, means and accuracy of testing high speed optical components and systems not matched by any of its competitors within the same price- performance ratio. This group creates patentable inventions, setting new standards in Optical Test & Measurement techniques and enables Apex Technologies to deliver uniquely designed products, meeting the ever increasing needs of today’s fiber optic industry.

Based on an interferometric method, Apex Technologies ultra high resolution optical spectrum analyzer combines resolution (20MHz), wavelength accuracy (+/-3pm) and dynamic range. This is in contrast with some of the best conventional grating based optical spectrum analyzer on the market today, which have a physically limited maximum resolution of 10pm.Applications include measuring DFB relaxation oscillations, laser peak widening, tunable laser source (SMSR), optical active and passive components , ultra dense WDM systems, modulated signal analysis...
