Santec Swept Test System has been developed to streamline
photonic testing, providing a complete solution where
high-speed analysis with high resolution and accuracy is
key. Combining Santec’s tunable laser, TSL-510 or TSL-710,
with a Santec Swept Processing Unit SPU-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
TSL-510/TSL-710 and the transmitted optical power
through the DUT, provides high accuracy in WDL and PDL
analysis. The Swept Test System can allow fast PDL
measurements based on Mueller Matrix method.
Over-sampling and a rescaling algorithm are used to
maximize
testing
throughput
while
maintaining
measurement integrity. The system is particularly suited to
transmission spectra characterization such as that required
for DWDM components and High Q photonic devices. Rapid
sweep and accurate measurement saves time and ensures
the integrity and validity of your device characterization.
