Sampling-scope optical modules probe 100G designs & production
The company also released enhancements to its 400G test solution including IEEE Ethernet standard-driven Transmitter and Dispersion Eye Closure (TDECQ) PAM4 and related support measurements for optical testing.
When installed in DSA8300 sampling oscilloscopes, the 80C17 and 80C18 optical modules provide mask test sensitivity of -14 dBm that exceeds requirements for 28 GBd PAM4 standards; also offering lowest noise performance at 3.9 µW with broad wavelength support. The two-channel 80C18 enables optical manufacturing test engineers to double throughput and capacity. If a device fails, Tektronix offers analysis tools to decompose the signal content for both noise and jitter to help engineers understand the underlying problem.
“As 100G designs move into production, manufacturing yields become paramount,” comments Brian Reich, general manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. “Our lowest inherent noise enables more confidence in test results and drives improvement in manufacturing yields on optical components and interconnects. [On] the way toward 400G [Tel has] comprehensive tools and features for in-depth analysis and effective debug in a new generation of Data transmission.”
The 80C17 and 80C18 optical modules and 400G test software enhancements will be priced from $65,000 US MSRP.
