Agilent 8702D Lightwave Component Analyzer - 8702D

Lightwave Component Analyzer

Modern lightwave transmission systems require accurate and repeatable characterization of their electro-optical, electrical, and optical components to guarantee high speed performance. The Agilent 8702D Lightwave Component Analyzer improves the design and specification of these lightwave components. It operates by analyzing a swept frequency signal modulating a 1300 or 1550 nm optical carrier.

Features:

• Characterize components to high bandwidths with modulation frequencies to 3 GHz (6 GHz optionally)
• Isolate laser and photodiode response with calibrated transmitter and receiver measurements.
• Accurately measure electrical return loss of photo diodes, lasers, connectors, and other lightwave components.
• Measure the swept frequency response of modulation second and third harmonics.
• Locate reflections and view step response with distance/time domain measurements..
