Until recently, measurements of power versus time were only available using expensive oscilloscopes and optical-to-electrical converters. These solutions required complex synchronisation and suffered from poor power accuracy and dynamic range in addition to requiring extra equipment.

With the TRACE capability of the optical power meters from Coherent Solutions, you can now capture accurate time domain power meter readings over the entire range of the power meter (>70dB).

This is industry-leading dynamic range time domain measurements. The TRACE capability allows you to capture small or large transient events such as EDFA add/drop gain transients or quickly characterize optical switches while simultaneously measuring switching time and switch isolation between channels.
