Optical performance monitoring device for monitoring and analyzing an optical signal has a periodically movable reflective mirror to receive an input optical beam and to cyclically "scan" (deflect) the beam in a one-dimensional direction. The deflected beam at a varying deflection angle is directed to a linear variable filter (LVF) that passes a selected wavelength channel of the deflected beam in dependence upon the deflection angle. The selected channel is then passed to a photodetector via a focusing lens, typically a cylindrical lens. The device is durable, tunable, offers low loss, good wavelength registrability and spectral resolution.
