The HP Keysight 8702D is a high-performance Lightwave Component Analyzer designed to characterize electro-optical (E/O), opto-electrical (O/E), and optical-to-optical (O/O) components. Integrating a built-in RF vector network analyzer with lightwave transmitters and receivers, it provides precise modulation frequency response, group delay, and electrical/optical S-parameter measurements.
