Optical Device Characteristics Evaluation Test

The AQ2200-601 can be used to test and evaluate the characteristics of optical devices such as optical modulators and transmitter optical subassemblies (TOSA). Waveform characteristics can be observed using instruments such as an oscilloscope, optical spectrum analyzer, and optical power meter while varying the amplitude, offset, and crosspoint of the data input signal being input to the modulator driver. • Rise and fall times: Tr/Tf, Crosspoint position

  • Overshoot percentage
  • Jitter measurements: Peak to peak and RMS
  • Extinction ratio
  • Pulse mask test
  • Output power (peak, average), light wavelength

 

XFP Module Characteristics Evaluation Test

The XFP module is an MSA which is an optical transceiver containing an optical transmitter and an optical receiver. XFP technology is very flexible, with support for STM-64/OC-192, 10G Fibre Channel, and 10G Ethernet. The XFP module requires the following tests:

  • Jitter test
  • Optical reception sensitivity test
  • Optical output eye mask test

With AQ2200 Series modules, it is possible to install the BERT, optical modulator, optical receiver, optical ATTN, and other equipment in a 19- inch rack to form an extremely compact test system. The AQ2200 Series can also handle optical receiver sensitivity tests.

  Product Description:  
 

space

The AQ2200-601 10 Gbit/s BERT module is a compact and powerful. It offers high quality features such as built-in internal Signal Generator (SG) and Clock Data Recovery (CDR), EO/OE interfaces, and several variable signal output functions. The AQ2200 series MultiApplication Test System is designed for universal purposes; therefore various modules for various applications can be accommodated. (i.e. Optical Power Meter, Light Source and Optical Attenuator modules).

The AQ2200-601 integrates a pulse pattern generator (PPG), error detector (ED) and signal generator (SG) in a compact module, so a single unit can handle bit error rate (BER) measurements. The AQ2200 Series has all the modules you need for optical device/system characterization, including optical modulators, receivers, power meters, and attenuators. The AQ2200 Series also includes equipment designed especially for using the 10 Gbit/s band BERT standalone function (using the AQ2201 3-slot mainframe).

 
 
  Features:  
 
 

PPG Function

  • Support for multiple bit rates: 9.95 Gbit/s to 11.32 Gbit/s, variable in steps of 1 kHz
  • Output amplitude: 0.5 Vp-p to 2.0 Vp-p, variable in steps of 10 mV
  • Offset: -2.0 V to +3 V, variable in steps of 10 mV
  • Crosspoint: 30% to 70%, variable in steps of 1%
  • Data and data bar: 2 outputs
  • Trigger output for oscilloscope synchronization
  • Port for external 10G clock synchronization input and 1/16 or 1/64 synchronization input It is possible to perform an error rate test with jitter deliberately added to the data pattern by inputting a synchronization signal with added jitter to this port.

Bit error rate test (BERT)

  • A BERT is a type of code error measurement made through digital communication using a PPG as the signal source and an ED as the error detector.
 
Bert

ED Function

  • The CDR signal extracts the clock from the data signal and performs synchronization when a data signal is the only input. In optical communications, the CDR function is a useful tool because the data signal is often transmitted alone.
  • In addition to the CDR input port, there are ports for inputting separate data and clock signals. When these ports are used, the phases of the data and clock signals must be matched externally.
  • Input ranges:
    0.1 Vp-p to 0.7 Vp-p (with CDR), 0.1 Vp-p to 0.6 Vp-p (without CDR)

Test Patterns

  • There are two types of test patterns: pseudo-random (PRBS) patterns and program patterns.
  • The PRBS pattern is selected from settings ranging from PRBS7 to PRBS31.
  • In the standard configuration, the AQ2200-601 program pattern consists of 256 bits. A 64 Mbit option is also available.
