A new joint effort to demonstrate the highest performance single-carrier 16QAM signal generation and analysis capabilities available at 56Gbaud has been announced by Teledyne LeCroy, Anritsu Company, Coherent Solutions and Oclaro. The demonstration of the partners’ latest optical communications test equipment platform takes place at OFC 2016 in Anaheim, California (March 22-24) on the Teledyne LeCroy stand.

The platform incorporates the highest-performance equipment available for generating, transmitting, receiving and analysing coherent optical signals at 400G rates.

Anritsu’s MP1800A Signal Quality Analyser and G0361A high-speed DAC generate the high-quality 56Gbaud, PAM4 RF signal (112 Gbps).

Coherent Solutions’ IQTransmitter then uses Oclaro’s latest 40GHz LiNbO3 modulator to turn these PAM4 RF signals into an optical 16QAM signal. New modulation-format-independent Automatic Bias Control (ABC) technology, also from Coherent Solutions, automatically optimises and stabilises the signal.

Teledyne LeCroy’s 65GHz LabMaster 10-65Zi-A high-bandwidth real-time oscilloscope combines with the 70GHz IQS70 coherent optical receiver and Optical-LinQ integrated OMA software to accurately characterise the modulated optical signal.
