DSA8200*¹ Series Sampling Oscilloscope Optical Modules

The DSA8200 Series Sampling Oscilloscope, when configured with one or more optical sampling modules, provide complete optical test solutions for Telecom (125 Mb/s to 43.018 Gb/s) or Datacom (Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 GbE and InfiniBand) applications, as well as general purpose optical component testing.

Each optical module includes all the elements necessary for optical testing:

Optical to Electrical Converter
Average Power Monitor
One or More Reference Receiver Filters
A Full Bandwidth Optical Path
A Low-noise Electrical Sampler
Optional Integrated Clock Recovery (80C12 clock recovery is provided via the 80A05 or 80A07 Clock Recovery Module – sold separately)
Universal Optical Input Connector

ER Calibrated (Extinction Ratio)

To increase the level of transferability of the ER measurement, ER Calibrated reduces the uncertainty of ER results through Tektronix calibration of the module against a calibrated, known, high ER source. This optional feature is available on most modules (see Ordering).

Optical Sampling Modules
80C02 High-performance Telecom	The 80C02 module is optimized for testing of long-wavelength (1100 to 1650 nm) signals at 9.953 Gb/s (SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64). With its high optical bandwidth of 30 GHz (typical), it is also well-suited for general purpose, high-performance optical component testing. The 80C02 can be optionally configured with clock recovery that supports 9.953 Gb/s telecom standards.
80C10 65 GHz 40 Gb/s Module with 43 Gb/s ITU-T G.709 Forward Error Correction	The 80C10 module provides integrated and selectable reference receiver filtering, enabling conformance testing at either 1310 nm or 1550 nm for 39.813 Gb/s (OC-768/STM-256) and 43.018 Gb/s (43 Gb/s ITU-T G.709 FEC) rates. In addition to the filter rates, the user may also choose selectable bandwidths of 30 GHz, 65 GHz in 80C10 for optimal noise vs. bandwidth performance for accurate signal characterization. The 80C10 is optionally available in a bundled ordering configuration which includes a 70+ GHz electrical sampling channel.
