OCA-1000 Optical Component Analyzer

Product information "OCA-1000 Optical Component Analyzer"

1260-1620 nm; 8-40 Channels; PDL Measurement Range 0-20 dB; PDL Resolution 0.01 dB; IL Measurement Range 0-60 dB; IL Resolution 0.002 dB; Optical Power Range -60-8 dBm; Optical Power Accuracy ±0.5 dB Lunas’ OCA-1000 is a multi-channel optical component analyzer that simultaneously measures insertion loss (IL), polarization dependent loss (PDL), and optical power (P) on multiple optical paths. The measurement is based on the Mueller Matrix method, which offers fast characterization of wavelength dependent optical parameters that are critical in today’s optical communication systems.

The OCA-1000 base model can have up to eight channels. Custom 8- or 16-channel expansion units can be added to increase the system capacity to up to 40 channels. The instrument comes with a control program with built-in functions to display measured power, IL, and PDL vs. wavelength or to monitor the time variation of power/IL for all channels simultaneously to determine their stability. For AWG characterization, the data analysis software also calculates passband center wavelength, bandwidth, and flatness as well as inter-channel crosstalk (from adjacent and nonadjacent channels).

The OCA-1000 optical component analyzer is an ideal solution for easy, accurate characterization of components and modules with multiple outputs, including DWDMs, ROADMs, AWGs and PLCs. It can be used with various tunable lasers , such as those from Keysight or Santec. This flexibility makes full use of existing laser resources and reduces the cost of making such measurements. Its rapid measurement reduces the time required to characterize devices with large numbers of ports, enabling higher production throughput.

OCDR-1000 Optical Coherence Domain Reflectometer
1310, 1550 nm; Dynamic Range >80 dB; Scan Range 600 mm; Spatial Resolution 10-25 µm; RL Range 10-90 dB; Sweep Speed 20 mm/sLunas’ OCDR-1000 is an optical coherence domain reflectometer designed to obtain space-resolved reflection information inside a fiber optical component, such as a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), for diagnosing quality or design issues. It is based on a polarization optimized white light interferometer proprietary to General Photonics.The OCDR-1000 optical coherence domain reflectometer performs the functions of the discontinued Agilent 8504B Reflectometer – and more – but with better polarization management, spatial resolution and accuracy; larger scan range and dynamic range; and smaller size and weight.The OCR-1000 is a low-cost alternative to OFDR technology, with a much higher dynamic range that avoids the masking of small reflection peaks by the large reflections typical of the input surface of an optical device.The OCDR-1000 optical coherence domain reflectometer can measure devices with a length of up to 600 mm. A set of length-matching delay modules is available to match the pigtail lengths of the devices to be measured and place the measurement span in the region of interest. With a reflection dynamic range of over 80 dB and a spatial resolution down to 10 µm, this instrument helps engineers and researchers see the inside of an optical device to precisely identify defects and their locations.Key Features:Dynamic Range: >80 dBScan Range: 600 mm (400 mm in Fiber)Spatial Resolution: 10 to 25 μmOperating Wavelengths: 1310, 1550 nm, Others on RequestReturn Loss (RL) Range: 10 to 90 dBSweep Speed: 20 mm/sCompact & LightweightBuilt-in Light SourceAverage Light Source Power: >-3 dBmPerforms Functions of Discontinued Agilent 8504B Reflectometer - and MoreDimensions: 89 x 356 x 356 mmApplications: Optical Characterization of Photonic Integrated Circuits, Fiber Optic Components; Accurate Measurement of Return Loss, Distributed Reflectivity
