Buying Testing Equipment and Services for Optics and Photonics

Top-level product category: icon services and training

More specific product categories: laser testing equipment, laser-induced damage threshold measurements and equipment, optical metrology services, prototype building and testing

Sophisticated equipment is required for specific test procedures. Utilizing specialized services can ensure careful testing of optical components, photonic integrated circuits, or photonic systems. These services include prototype testing, batch testing, and detailed characterization of photonic devices.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive resources of RP Photonics. Unfortunately, we do not have a specific article related to testing equipment and services for optics and photonics.

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying testing equipment and services for optics and photonics. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for testing equipment and services for optics and photonics. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

testing equipment and services for optics and photonics

Cycle offers the lowest noise timing detectors in the market based on its patented balanced optical cross-correlator (BOC) and balanced optical microwave phase detector (BOMPD) technologies.

The BOC detects the relative timing jitter between two independent optical pulse trains with identical center wavelengths, whereas the BOMPD detects the timing jitter or phase noise between an optical pulse train and the zero-crossings of a microwave signal.

Cycle’s BOCs and BOMPDs provide exceptionally high timing sensitivity, attosecond timing resolution, and AM-PM conversion suppression against environmental fluctuations.

We offer BOCs operating on 800 nm, 1030 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. We also offer two color BOCs (TCBOC) to measure the timing jitter of lasers at different center wavelengths.

Our BOMPDs operate with a wide range of microwave frequencies (10 MHz – 10 GHz) and optical wavelengths (800 nm, 1030 nm and 1550 nm).
