CTP10 - Passive optical component testing platform-3

FASTEST SWEPT IL AND RL Fast and reliable insertion loss and return loss measurements are key to any R&D or manufacturing passive component test bench. Other parameters such as isolation, free spectral range or directivity all rely on a high-quality loss measurement. Thanks to its state-of-the-art electronics, the CTP10 outperforms all existing instruments. It offers a 70 dB dynamic range for IL in a single sweep for a tunable laser speed at 100 nm/sec with 10 dBm output power and eliminates the need for post-processing steps such as trace stitching and bandwidth correction. The platform can...
