OPTICAL TEST EQUIPMENT

Optical test equipment or optical measuring instruments are used to measure and characterize the physical properties of light. The insatiable demand for higher capacity in communication networks has fueled the need for highly precise optical test solutions. In addition, precision optical measurements are essential to optical research applications for biophotonics, environmental sensing, and consumer products.

R&D engineers, academic researchers, manufacturing engineers, and field service personnel depend on precision optical test equipment to ensure design and performance specifications, production quality, and network health. For more than thirty years, Yokogawa (formerly Ando) has delivered quality, consistency, ease of use, and market leadership for optical test applications.

The AQ2200-642 reduces the complexity and cost of 10G optical transceiver testing by combining bus and power control features into the same mainframe that performs Signal Generation, BERT and Optical testing. This allows a single programming interface to control all aspects of the transceiver test, simplifying test setup, decreasing test time and increasing productivity. The wiring complexity and test bench size are reduced by replacing separate Digital Multi-Meters, Programmable Power supplies and Serial I/F controllers with a single module.

The AQ2200-651 Signal Generator module reduces the complexity and cost of 10G optical transceiver testing by combining Signal Generation functions into the same mainframe  that provides bus and power control while performing BERT and Optical testing. This allows a single programming interface to control all aspects of the transceiver  test, simplifying test setup, decreasing test time and increasing productivity.  The wiring complexity and test bench size are reduced by replacing up to 5 Signal Generators with a single module.
