Lightwave Component Analyzers (LCA)
Lightwave Component Analyzers precisely characterize the swept modulation freq. response of wide bandwidth fiber optic system elements such as lasers, LEDs, photodiodes, and electro-optical modulators
Lightwave Component Analyzer for Testing of Electro-Optical Components
The Lightwave Component Analyzer (LCA) is used to measure the linear electro-optic transmission and electrical reflection characteristics of a component as a function of modulation frequency. It is the instrument of choice to test all relevant opto-electronic S-parameters, like S21, S11 and, S22 for electro Optical components in 10Gb/s and 40Gb/s, Fibre Channel and CATV transmission systems as well as radio-over-fiber and A&D applications.
A Lightwave Component Analyzer measures electro-optical S21 responsivity of PIN Diodes, APD’s, LiNbO3, and electro-absorption modulators as well as modulated lasers.
Based on this measurement, the absolute responsivity, the 3-dB cutoff frequency and relative and absolute group delay can be determined with the LCA.
Key Benefits of Lightwave Component Analyzer
- Compare measurement results from various locations through high absolute accuracy of responsivity measurements
- Fast time to market with turn-key solution
- High productivity through fast calibration and easy use
- Excellent reliability through traceability to international standards
- Versions for up to 110 GHz bandwidth with single-mode fiber and up to 50 GHz with multimode fiber
