Tech Note: Using the A2000 to verify PMD states of New Ridge Technologies PMD sources

The A2000 is a compact high-speed Component Analyzer which provides characterization of optical components and (sub-)systems regarding:

  • Differential Group Delay (DGD) / Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)
  • Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL)
  • Spectral Loss

The instrument uses the Jones Matrix Eigenanalysis (JME) measurement method which is recognized in industry as the Gold method. Adaptifs implementation of this method guarantees:

  • High speed measurement: less than 30s for full PMD/PDL analysis across C and L band
  • Robustness against fiber movements and drifts  sensitivity to environmental impacts greatly reduced compared to traditional JME implementations
