Optical Vector Analysis

Luna Technologies' Optical Vector Analyzer™ (OVA) is the first instrument on the market  capable of full and complete all-parameter linear characterization of single-mode optical components. The OVA provides comprehensive component characterization of Fiber Bragg Gratings, dispersion compensation modules, AWGs and many other optical devices. A complete vector measurement of the linear transfer function is used to characterize the device under test.

The OVA can simultaneously perform the following optical measurements, updated every second:

Insertion Loss (IL)

Optical Return Loss (ORL)

Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL)

Phase Response

Group Delay (GD)

Chromatic Dispersion

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) & Second Order PMD (SOPMD)

Min / Max Loss due to Polarization

Jones Matrix Elements

Impulse Response

Phase Ripple - Linear and Quadratic
