Photonics Test & Measurement for Optical Communications

Based on proprietary & licensed technologies, ZEPREN develops and manufactures some of the most advanced instruments for the characterization of photonics components and signals.

The current demand on high bandwidth data services and applications is growing at high speed. Data centres can already reach 400G thanks to the latest optical modules. The current and future optical network architectures are more and more adaptive, and the capacity and reach are directly related with the spectrum utilization of the channels. Therefore, the future network architecture needs extremely precise characterization of the optics and photonics elements involved.

Why high-resolution spectral analysis is a must?

Optical communication technologies require a precise portrait of the signals, components and subsystems involved. And that includes the optical spectra. Although a regular optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) can provide good spectral information for many applications, most of optical technologies require much higher resolution in order to see further, to analyze in depth and even save time when exploring new ideas and launching new devices.

Measuring the optical spectrum with enough resolution is today a must to test the performance and ensure compatibility and compliance of optical sources or photonics systems.

Our value proposition

Zepren Solutions manufactures the most advanced and versatile high resolution optical spectrum analyzers: the BOSA.

Our instruments are capable of giving customers a fast and accurate spectral characterization of optical signals and devices with only 10 MHz of resolution in O, C and L telecommunications bands.

Many key-state Universities, R&D Labs, optical manufacturers and network companies around the world rely on the BOSA for solving their spectral characterization needs.

Markets & Applications

BOSA - High resolution OSA

BOSA is the most advanced and versatile high resolution optical spectrum analyzer. Thanks to our unique optical filtering and full spurious-free dynamic range BOSA gets high-resolution and high dynamic-range spectra of your signals for any measurement span. Combined with its passive devices, polarization and phase analysis modules, BOSA becomes a really versatile instrument in for an R&D or quality control lab.

HDCA - High Definition Component Analyzer

HDCA has been designed to characterize passive optical devices and PICs with the highest resolution and wavelength accuracy, fastest scan speed and largest dynamic range. The spectral profile of insertion losses, return losses and polarization dependent losses (PDL) of passive optical devices can be measured with resolutions down to 10s of fm.
