High Speed Swept Test System
Swept Test System
The Santec Swept Test System has been developed to streamline photonic testing, providing a complete solution where high-speed analysis, high resolution and accuracy are key. Combining one of Santec’s tunable lasers (TSL-770, TSL-710 or TSL-550) with a Santec optical power meter (MPM-210), a polarization control units (PCU-110 or PCU-100) and custom software, the complete Swept Test System optimizes WDL and PDL measurement for use in both R&D and production environments. Using real-time referencing, while simultaneously acquiring output power from the tunable laser and the transmitted optical power through the DUT, the system provides high accuracy in WDL and PDL analysis using the Muller Matrix Method. Over-sampling and rescaling algorithms are used to maximize testing throughput while maintaining measurement integrity. The santec MPM-210 power meter mainframe can be used in conjunction with the 4-channel current meter module, the MPM-213. The Swept Test System combined with the MPM-210 and MPM-213 is suitable for measuring the performance of fiber optics components using transceiverlike photodiodes (ROSA/Coherent receiver, etc.) or optical channel monitors.
