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.

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.
24 / 7
Robust enough to work fulltime during a week
Easy programming
Compatible with main programming languages: Labview, Python and Matlab
