DWDM Analyser
Optical Component Test Set

The DWDM Analyser is a fast, accurate and economical system for characterizing narrowband DWDM optical components such as Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBGs).

The system is based on Inometrix’s patented Single Arm Interferometer Technology which eliminates the need for expensive temperature control and error-inducing calibration to provide a consistently stable measurement and provide reliable characterization to accuracy orders of magnitude above the standard technologies in a fraction of the time.

Measurement Capability:

  • Group Delay (GD)
  • Group Index (GI)
  • Group Velocity (GV)

The DWDM Analyser can chacterize shorter length DWDM components than the Virtual Reference™ Analyser but both products use the same platform so that they can be ordered separately or as a package.

The DWDM Analyser is used with an external third-party tunable laser1, and is a simple plug and play system that requires no callibration, no training to use, and no dedicated optical table.

 

Features:

  • Characterization for the whole wavelength range in a single sweep
  • No callibration required
  • Orders of magnitude higher thermal & vibration stability
  • Orders of magnitude higher sensitivity and accuracy
  • Portability allows for use in inline testing applications
  • No need to invest in optical tables or lab space
