Luna Technologies' multi-channel solution provides independent verification of each channel of a multi-channel component with fast and accurate measurements of insertion loss, group delay, chromatic dispersion, polarization dependent loss and polarization mode dispersion. Luna's OVA-MP provides significant savings in testing budgets while accelerating production schedules reducing time-to-market. The OVA-MP provides more thorough testing in less time by leveraging Luna's proprietary interferometric all-parameter analysis technique which provides unprecedented speed, accuracy and integration in optical component test.

ADVANTAGES:

The OVA MP offers significant advantages for optical component testing in the following categories:

• Productivity
  The OVA MP eliminates manufacturing bottlenecks and reduces labor cost by providing comprehensive component characterization over 40 nm in less than 2.5 seconds. Equivalent testing using currently available equipment can take 10x longer.
• Capital investment reduction
  The OVA MP provides comprehensive analysis in a single instrument. There is no need to have multiple, expensive instruments for complete analysis.
• Ease of use
  The OVA MP is fully automated, requiring nospecial skills to operate. It can be easily integrated into a manufacturing production line.
• Space savings
  The OVA MP is a single unit that fits into one rack space, providing the same functionality as multiple-instrument configurations.
• Configurability
  Test single and multiple port devices without the hassle of making and remaking multiple connections.
