HP 8702D Lightwave Component Analyzer

As lightwave transmission systems become more advanced, component designers and manufacturers must maximize the performance of their devices. For example, one parameter often used to specify digital system performance is bit error rate. However, it is difficult to specify individual components in such terms. Rather, fundamental measurements such as gain, bandwidth, frequency response and return loss can be appropriate. The lightwave component analyzer (LCA) is used to measure the linear transmission and reflection characteristics of a component as a function of modulation frequency.

The HP 8702D lightwave component analyzer measures each of the transmission elements of a high-speed fiber optic system. The instrument analyzes swept frequency signals modulating an 850, 1300, or 1550 nm optical carrier. Modulation frequency range is 300 kHz to 3 GHz or, optionally, to 6 GHz.

Standard configuration requires an HP 8702D, two 7 mm to 3.5 mm (m) adapters, a lightwave source, lightwave receiver, and fiber cable. All HP 8340xx sources with built-in optical isolators have reduced reflection sensitivity and improved optical source match. An RF calibration kit is required to perform the response and match calibration. A lightwave directional coupler is required for optical reflection measurements.
