Lightwave Component Analyzer, various options available

As the transmission rate or bandwidth of fiber optic systems is pushed upward, high frequency design considerations become essential. The Agilent (now Keysight) 8703A measures each of the system elements that transmit these wide bandwidths. The lightwave component analyzer operates with a swept modulation frequency to precisely characterize how lasers, LEDs, photodiodes, and electro-optic modulators operate with a high-speed information-bearing signal similar to an RF/µW network analyzer.

300 kHz to 20 GHz modulation frequency

Calibrated frequency response measurements of high-speed optical, electro-

optical, and electrical components

1300, or 1550 nm operation

Reflection measurements with <1 mm resolution <5 mm two-event resolution up to 50 dB optical dynamic range
