ABOUT OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY



Luna Technologies' Optical Vector Analyzer (OVA) ELp is used to characterize the polarization and loss properties of fiber optic components for high-speed optical networks. Using an external laser, the OVA ELp is a fast, economical tool that provides industry leading accuracy and resolution in a single sweep of a tunable laser.

MEASUREMENTS:

Insertion Loss (IL)

Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) / Differential Group Delay (DGD)

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)

2nd Order Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)

Impulse response

Jones matrix elements

ADVANTAGES:

The OVA ELp offers significant advantages for optical component testing in the following categories.

  • Investment Protection
    With the OVA ELp, you can cost effectively invest in a Luna solution today for IL/PDL/PMD, and as your testing needs expand in the future, upgrade the unit to add chromatic dispersion, group delay, and other phase measurements at a later date.
  • Industry Standard Method
    The Jones Matrix Eigenanalysis method used by the OVA ELp "is" the industry standard for measuring PMD and DGD. Why settle for something less!
  • Ease of Use
    The OVA ELp is fully automated, requiring no special skills to operate. It can be easily integrated into a manufacturing production line.
  • Industry Leading Accuracy in a Single Sweep
    For fast measurements, the OVA ELp has the highest accuracy in the industry. Want better performance? Simply enable the averaging capability of the unit.
  • Best-in-Class Dynamic Range capabilities.
    Recognized across the industry as the leading tool for making component and system level polarization dependent measurements with dynamic range in excess of 50 dB!
