Testing and alignment seek to scale up manufacture

Integration, automation, collaboration, customisation and designing for testing and manufacturability will help component, module and system makers expand with lower costs, finds Andy Extance

Tools of the trade

Keely Portway takes a look at what fibre engineers consider to be the most essential characteristics for test and measurement equipment, and how vendors are designing-out complexity to meet this demand

Pumping up the PIC volume

There are many challenges to overcome to provide quick and efficient characterisation of photonic integrated circuits, finds Andy Extance

Testing times

Test and measurement equipment will be a key focus for exhibitors and delegates at ECOC 2014 in September. With many products to choose from, Robert Roe investigates how providers of test and measurement equipment stand out from the crowd
