Standard configuration requires an HP 8702B, an RF interface kit, a lightwave source, lightwave receiver, and fiber cable. A lightwave directional coupler is required for reflection measurements.

The HP 8702B Lightwave Component Analyzer makes calibrated measurements of lasers or LED transmitters, photodiode receivers, optical fibers, and the electrical components they work with. The HP LCA operates with a swept modulation frequency to precisely characterize how these components operate on the highspeed, information-bearing signal. Information on how each component responds independent of the others provides insight into how systems can be predicted and improved.

The 8702B operates at a fixed wavelength and sweeps the frequency of the intensity of modulation signal over the bandwidth you select. This analyzer has transducers (lightwave source and receivers), which allow it to operate at 850, 1300, and 1550nm.

Measurements can be made of such components as connectors, splitters, couplers, and lenses, as well as fiber itself. This yields modulation bandwidth, insertion loss, length, and optical return loss. In the distance-time domain, reflections can be located without the dead zone typical of OTDR type measurements. Transmission measurements can also be displayed in the distance-time domain to view the impulse or step response of the component. Delay and dispersion are easily viewed in this manner.
