Abstract
An optical spectrum analyzer of novel design, in which several different spectra can be measured and analyzed simultaneously. A measuring signal is used as a reference signal for calibrating the optical spectrum analyzer. The light rays are admitted via a coupling device with several coupling apertures arranged in a line; and via a separate decoupling device comprising respective decoupling apertures arranged in a line, the light rays are decoupled. Height offset is realized by a 90° deviation prism. The arrangement makes possible simultaneous analysis of several optical lines with little retroreflection as well as uninterrupted calibration of the measuring process.
