Overview:
Optical transmitter performance has historically been defined through parameters such as eye-masks, noise, and modulation power. As new communications standards are developed these will still be important parameters. Yet as data speeds increase, the performance of the optical channel can become a limiting factor in system performance. Receivers can employ equalization to compensate for channel performance. This presents an interesting problem for transceiver test. If a sophisticated receiver can compensate for a degraded signal, what defines adequate performance for the transmitter? How far can a receiver be pushed before it can no longer compensate for distorted signals?
This seminar will discuss these issues as well as other new trends in optical transceiver test.
