Measurement solution for active optical devices

Anritsu has introduced the MP2100A BERTWave series measurement solution for active optical devices. The all-in-one device performs simultaneous BER measurements and eye pattern analysis of active optical devices. The new solution is developed to help cut manufacturing costs by shortening measurement times for faster throughput, and by halving equipment investment with integrated simultaneous BER measurements and eye pattern analysis into one instrument. The device has a built-in mixed remote command function for batch-processing multiple measurement commands to speed-up measurement. The device supports high-speed sampling, shortening the time required for eye pattern analysis, including mask tests. Optical signal power is measured by analysing the extinction ratio eye pattern. The device has an advanced built-in, precision Bessel filter and calibration function required for measuring extinction ratio, supporting extinction ratio measurements as close as possible to the theoretical value.
