N7788B keysight Optical Component Analyser

Key Benefits

• Highest accuracy from a single scan: no need to calculate the average value from several scans

• High measurement speed

• Complete measurement in the C/L band in less than 10 seconds (no need to wait for multiple averages)

• Stability independent of fibre movement/vibration and drift

keysight has set the limits for component measurements using the N7788B Component Analyser, with proprietary technology comparable to the well-known Jones Matrix Eigenmethod (JME), the standard method for measuring Polarisation Mode Dispersion (PMD) or Differential Group Delay (DGD) in optical devices.

keysight's new single-scan technique offers a range of advantages for testing the full set of parameters:

DGD/ PMD

PDL

Power / Loss

TE/TM loss

Second order PMD

Primary Polarisation State (PSP)

Jones and Miller Matrix

Designed for the production floor

High throughput: Full analysis of C and L bands in less than 10 seconds!

Software Drivers: A range of software drivers are available for external control of the system. This facilitates easy integration in common ERP systems.

Remote Control: Supports control of the instrument via LAN or Internet for automated operation and troubleshooting.

Report Generation: Support for generating reports in PDF format. All content (including layout) can be configured by the user.

Real-time power readout: Provides real-time power readout (with fibre coupling support for new devices), allowing high throughput measurements on unconnected devices.

Barcode Scanner: Supports fast transfer of the serial number of the device under test using a barcode scanner.
