As the range of optical transmission systems increases and capacity rises through higher bit rates and the application of wavelength division multiplying (WDM) technologies, measurement, evaluation, and control of the chirp generated by optical devices such as optical modulators is becoming increasingly vital for improving the quality of transmission. The ADVANTEST developed Q7607 optical chirp test set enables easy measurement of dynamic chirp from components such as optical modulators and laser diodes (LDs) in 30 seconds or less when used with a digital sampling oscilloscope and a PC.
Features:
Supports 50 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s
Measures wavelengths in C-band and L-band
Built-in optical amplifier (optional)
Fast time-domain chirp measurement in 30 seconds or less
Convenient operation, data collection and display via PC software
