In this session, we will explore three of the numerous reasons why Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSA) are a key ingredient for successful 40G network operation. First, we will discuss the importance of OSA as the single tool for successful turn-up. Then, we will explore the wide variety of issues that an OSA can troubleshoot. Third, we will show the additional benefits of using an OSA, instead of relying solely on the Element Management System.

As the industry deploys Optical transmissions systems designed under the IEEE802.3ba family (40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-LR4, -ER4, SR10) and beyond, it’s important to understand measurement needs for an efficient, accurate validation and compliance test methodology in your lab. During this webinar, you will learn: 1. The importance of precisely controlled frequency rolloff of Optical to Electrical Conversion for standards-based performance and eye diagram test margin. 2. How to make eye pattern measurements to predict effective Bit Error Ratio results without a long acquisition test time, and how to confirm your results with a BERT error detector. 3. Considerations for building an efficient, high throughput electro-optical test system that will address your current IEEE802.3ba – based standard tests today, but also support the electrical backplane for 40GBASE-FR and future standards.
