Optical modules boost sensitivity, lower noise

TEKTRONIX 80C20 and 80C21 optical modules for DSA8300 sampling oscilloscope boost sensitivity and lower noise, helping OEMs increase production capacity and improve yields for 400G designs moving into production. Firm has also enhanced support for the latest 400G PAM4 TDECQ measurements with a software package optimized for 4 channel parallel processing for high throughput manufacturing test. When installed, modules for 56GBd PAM4 and NRZ improve noise performance with 9µW optical noise. The two-channel 80C21 enables optical manufacturing test engineers to double throughput and capacity.
