Flexible 850 nm Jitter Tolerance Testing

The new BERTScope Lightwave Test Set (LTS) 8500A is the first flexible stress solution to offer 850 nm receiver jitter tolerance testing (stressed eye) to 8x Fibre Channel and 10 Gb/s Ethernet Short Reach (10GBASE-SR) standards for transceiver types such as XFP and SFP+. In combination with the BERTScope S 12500B signal integrity analyzer, the LTS 8500A offers compliance test and deep insight on all high speed ports of common short reach optical transceivers.

The BERTScope LTS features an 850 nm optical source, and an optional 10 Gb/s optical reference receiver (Option OPT REC) with 10 Gbit band clock recovery, enabling transmitter test and optical stress calibration. When combined with the BERTScope S 12500B, all of the stress impairments required by 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, and 10x Fibre Channel are available, along with those of 10GBASE-SR. For the first time, engineers are able to generate a test quality 850 nm stressed eye, calibrate it at the time of test if required, and then set the desired optical modulation amplitude (OMA) using the built in output level control.

Optical Test Bench

The LTS dovetails perfectly with the BERTScope S 12500B analyzer, the BERTScope DCRJ compliance receiver with flexible clock recovery and jitter analysis, and available automation software for making waterfall measurements and calibrating 10 Gb/s Ethernet and 4x Fibre Channel stressed eyes. The LTS and DCRJ are easily controlled through an intuitive user interface design on the BERTScope S analyzer. This powerful combination comprises the BERTScope Optical Test Bench.
