Agilent Lightwave Analyzers test components at 850nm

Agilent Technologies (Agilent) has demonstrated its latest Lightwave Component Analyzer (LCA) to test components with a target wavelength of 850 nm. The Agilent N4376BLCA sets a new benchmark for frequency response characterization that is optimized for critical optical components. Offering the industry's best versatility, measurement speed and reliability, this LCA is designed to test 10GbE and Fibre Channel components in high-speed telecom and computer networks.

By reducing test costs and speeding development, this LCA overcomes the challenges of today's LAN/SAN, including down-slope to inter-chip connections and optical backplanes.


The new Agilent N4376BLCA has the lowest measurement uncertainty guaranteed by Agilent and the results of international standards, helping manufacturing, support and R&D engineers increase production yield and productivity. Testing multi-mode components with a target wavelength of 850 nm in multi-modal conditions optimizes the design of short-range components because extrapolation is not extrapolated at wavelengths other than the 850 nm target wavelength, resulting in additional uncertainty .

The LCA enhances the Agilent lineup with a standard 850nm opto-electric converter with well-defined multimodalaunchconditions and modulation rates up to 20GHz. This single product solution analyzes all types of network components (E/O, O/E, and O/O), including laser drivers, amplifiers, lasers, transmitters, optical modulators, photodiodes, and passive optical components. .

Linear transmission and reflection characterization are performed with Agilent's network analyzer, which provides complete S-parameter analysis and calibration including probe heads. The existing Agilent N4373ALCA or high-performance network analyzer can be upgraded in an economical way to fully protect your existing investment.
