High Definition Component Analyzer

The new High Definition Component Analyzer (HDCA) from Aragon Photonics lands to characterize passive optical devices with the highest resolution and wavelength accuracy, the fastest measurement time and largest dynamic range. The spectra profile of insertion losses (IL), return losses (RL) and polarization dependent losses (PDL) of passive optical devices can be measured with femtometric resolution and fully automated.

HDCA is the ideal tool for manufacturers and developers of next generation passive components, including ring resonators, arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), quantum chips, wavelength selective switches (WSS), fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), photonic integrated circuits (PIC), or any Ultra-DWDM network components.

MAIN FEATURES
  • Subpicometer resolution (down to 2.4 fm point resolution).
  • Dynamic range: >85 dB in a single sweep.
  • Wavelength repeatability: ±0.15 pm.
  • Wavelength accuracy: ± 0.5 pm.
  • Wavelength range: T, O, S, C & L bands
  • PM and PDL option.
  • TE/TM spectra characterization.
  • External TLS compatible.

Peak and notch analysis

Allows to fully characterise the spectral lines of your DUT and export the data to a csv file.

DUT automatic trace analysis

Allows spectral characterization of common optical device (i.e. DWDM, AWG, MZI, FBG...) parameters.

IL and RL measurement

Swept insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) measurements can be performed on optical components.

TE & TM spectra resolving

Thanks to the Mueller matrix calculus, the TE&TM spectra can be displayed.

PDL measurement

Relies on the four-states Mueller method to perform Polarization Dependent Losses measurements.

Dual-channel polarization

Allow seeing the separate orthogonal polarization components of the signal simultaneously.

Easy automation

Control your BOSA remotely through GPIB or Ethernet using SCPI commands.
