Optical Vector Analyzer

The 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.
