Component Analyzers / OVAs

Quick Overview
LWA 7601-C Lightwave Component Analyzer is a fast and simple-to-use tool for testing modern optical components and modules, including Photonics Integrated Circuits (PICs). The LWA 7601-C measures and analyzes the Insertion Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL) distribution, frequency response, as well as length. Optical components are scanned in either reflection or transmission mode.
High Definition Component Analyzer (HDCA) from Zepren Solutions starts to be a must for characterizing passive optical devices with the highest resolution and wavelength accuracy, the fastest measurement time and largest dynamic range. The spectra profile of insertion losses (IL), return losses (RL) and polarization dependent losses (PDL) of passive optical devices can be measured with femtometric resolution and fully automated.
OVA 5100 is the ideal device for single-connection, all-parameter characterization of fiber components from couplers to specialty fiber and everything in between (Fiber Bragg Gratings, arrayed waveguide gratings, free-space filters, tunable devices, amplifiers, etc.), all with a single sweep of a tunable laser.
The OVA 5100 uses an interferometric method to directly measure the linear transfer function (Jones Matrix), from which all standard linear parameter measurements can be accurately extracted.
