Three Nodes on Optical Spectrum Analyzer

Shown here is the screen of an Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) at the OOI RSN Shore Station in Pacific City, Oregon. The twelve peaks shown are actually the twelve wavelengths coming from the three RSN Primary Nodes currently connected–PN1A, PN1B, and PN1C. Each Node has two traffic wavelengths of 10gb/s each and two wavelengths for system management.
