Passive Optical Device Characterization

The OSPA
TM  is a test instrument designed for accurate characterization of passive  optical devices such as fiber gratings, interference filters, AWG's,  dispersion compensators, photonic crystal fiber devices, short lengths  of fiber and others. It can fast, accurately and cost-effectively  perform multiple optical tests specific to these components, including  the determination of such important parameters as phase, time delay,  time delay ripple, chromatic dispersion, reflectivity / transmissivity  responses, bandwidth, insertion loss, return loss, polarization  dependent loss (PDL) and differential group delay (DGD/PMD). Its is  intended towards customer time and cost savings during device  development, production and qualification stages.
 
 
The  OSPA instrument is built around an original patented interferometric  technology and bears
unbeatable advantages. It also innovates by  treating the device under test through optical "S" parameters,
an  important innovation for multi-port optical device characterization.
