Photonic Integrated Circuit Test

representING the leading fiberoptic test and measurement COMPANIES

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are a key element in high-speed communications, optical computing, aerospace, defense and

medical applications. But, PICs can be challenging to test and measure, which is a significant contributor to the overall cost of bringing products to market. Effective testing of PICs requires more comprehensive and sophisticated methodologies to ensure optimal,

reliable performance and reduced development costs. TeraComm has solutions that meet the challenge!

Application areas we address:

Characterizing Passive optical components and
modules – filters, PLCs, AWGs, MUX/DEMUX,
splitters, gratings, WSS, ROADMs, etc.
Characterizing loss and verifying the length of waveguides
Measurement of complex devices with multiple integrated components
Measuring TE vs TM performance of devices
On-chip measurement of devices (die-level)
