Luna’s LCA 500 lightwave component analyzers are fast and accurate systems that are ideal for production test and quality control. The LCA 500 series provides the high throughput and connectivity needed for the manufacturing floor while delivering the extremely high resolution and sensitivity that is critical when testing and validating modern photonic devices and network subsystems.
The LCA 500 lightwave component analyzers provide single-scan measurements for testing a wide range of passive components from couplers to Optical Fibers and everything in between (Fiber Bragg Gratings, arrayed waveguide gratings, free-space filters, tunable devices, amplifiers, etc.).
