Tenders Are Invited For Lightwave Vector Network Analyser

The Optoelectronics Research Centre Has A Requirement To Purchase An Opto-Electronic (Lightwave) Network Analyser As Part Of A Project That Aims At Establishing An Open Experimental Facility For The Uk Research Community That Will Enable Its Users To Characterise The Bandwidth Of Their Photonic Components And Circuits Up To Very High Frequencies. The New Facility Will Enable The High Speed Characterisation Of Components And Circuits That Convert Electrical Signals Into Optical Signals, Optical Signals Into Electrical Signals As Well Components That Have Electrical Inputs And Outputs Or Optical Inputs And Outputs. This Allows Testing Of For Example Optical Modulators, Photodetectors, Transmitter Modules, Receiver Modules, Etc. The Frequency Range That The Equipment Will Be Capable Of Is Such That A Deeper Understanding Of Components And Circuits Will Be Gained, Allowing Development Of Components That Can Serve Future Application Requirements In Optical Data Communications And Beyond.
