N7788B - Keysight (Agilent) Optical Component Analyzer

Keysight Agilent N7788B Optical Component Analyzer with options 400, 022, and 032 (see below for description).

Options Installed:
400 – 1270 to 1375nm and 1460 to 1620nm
022 – Angled contact connector for laser input port
032 – Angled contact connector for DUT ports

Key Benefits
Highest Accuracy in a single sweep: no averaging over multiple sweeps required
High measurement speed
Complete measurement across C/L-band in less than 10 seconds (no need to wait for many averages)
Robustness against fiber movement / vibration and drift

Keysight Technologies pushes the limits of component measurements with the N7788B Component Analyzer. Its proprietary technology is comparable with the well-known Jones-Matrix-Eigenanalysis (JME) which is the standard method for measuring Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) or differential group delay (DGD) of optical devices.

Keysight’s new single scan technology offers a range of advantages to test a complete set of parameters:

DGD/ PMD
PDL
Power / Loss
TE / TM-Loss
2nd-order PMD
Principal States of Polarization (PSPs)
Jones and Mueller Matrices

Designed for the Manufacturing Floor

High throughput: A complete analysis across the C and the L band is performed in less than 10 seconds!

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

Remote control: Control of the instrument through LAN or via the Internet is supported. This supports automation as well as trouble shooting.

Report Generation: Generating PDF reports is supported. The content including layout is configurable by the user.

Real time power readout: High throughput measurement of non-connectorized components is supported by providing a real time power readout which enables fiber coupling of the new device.

Barcode Scanner: Using Barcode scanner is supported for quick transfer of the DUT serial number.
