Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuit Testing: APEX Technologies’ Solution for Next-Generation Optical Devices

The growing market of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) poses new challenges for testing and characterization of ever more complex circuits both in the context of R&D and volume production. APEX Technologies addresses those challenges with high performance optical instruments based on interferometry technology and now integrating a new-gen proprietary tunable laser. We will present how its best-in class High Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyzer with component analysis and polarimeter capabilities, but most importantly its latest Optical Frequency-Domain Reflectometer with the highest dynamic-range in the market, along with its large-span mode-hop-free tunable laser sources, are used in real-world applications.
