Growth of data centers and mobile networks requires even higher-capacity and longer-distance transmissions. The IEEE802.3 Ethernet Working Group has standardized 100 Gbps/lane, and is now considering 200 Gbps/lane transmission for 800GbE/1.6TbE. The OIF is also studying digital coherent transmission, such as 400ZR/800ZR/1.6TZR.
As modulation schemes and symbol rates increase, optical and electronic devices, such as modulators, and SerDes testing are necessary.
Anritsu offers drivers/amplifiers, optical receivers, power dividers, and more for device testing.
Drivers/amplifiers are ideal for amplifying high-speed modulation signals that drive optical modulators used in optical communications.
The optical receiver is a broadband OE converter with a wide O- to L-band wavelength bandwidth and high responsivity, and can be used for various optical receiver applications, such as high-speed PAM optical signal testing.
The power divider is a 1:4 divider for the DC to 40 GHz frequency range and is ideal for signal distribution in multi-channel test systems and comparative testing.
The following are examples of optimal applications for each device.
Applications
- Testing communications optical devices, such as optical modulators
- Testing ultrafast electronic devices
- Incorporating high-speed I/Fs for semiconductor testers and measuring instruments
- Testing other high-speed devices
