Adaptif Photonics Intros PMD, PDL Testers

HAMBURG, Germany -- Adaptif Photonics GmbH has announced the release of PMD and PDL test solutions which provide a breakthrough in high-speed, highly accurate PMD and PDL test. The solutions have been designed for testing of optical components, fibers and cables.

The A2000 Component Analyzer provides a dramatic increase in throughput over all competitive solutions as it acquires all relevant measurement data within one laser sweep. Thus, a full characterization is completed within less than 20 seconds with a PMD accuracy of better than 30fs. Adaptif Photonics has also eliminated the drift and stability issues which have affected such measurements in traditional implementations through the use of proprietary algorithms. The instrument family operates over all relevant wavelength bands.

The instrument family’s key applications include:

The A2000 Component Analyzer is available with immediate effect for an attractive price.

The solutions will be presented at OFC 2004 on Adaptif Photonics booth number 4850.

The polarizationNAVIGATORTM PC software integrates support for these applications with a powerful and convenient user interface.

Announcing the release, Harald Rosenfeldt, Adaptif Photonics’ CTO stated “customers involved in manufacturing have been highly impressed with our new Component Analyzer. It offers them the performance, functionality and ease-of-use that they require for high volume test at prices associated with much lower performance products. Needless to say that the research community is also strongly attracted to this product.”
