Accuracy
For these modern optical transmission systems with advanced modulation schemes it is key for the electro-optical components to have very flat S21 transfer function in amplitude and delay. This performance can be achieved only with electro-optical S-parameter test as provided by the N4373C LCA. In addition fast, accurate, repeatable and traceable characterization of these electro-optical components, like lasers, modulators and detectors is required, to guarantee the performance with respect to modulation bandwidth, jitter, gain, and distortion. By optimizing the electrical and the optical design of the N4373C for lowest noise and ripple, the accuracy has been improved by better than a factor of 2, compared to its predecessor, the 86030A 50GHz LCA. This increased accuracy improves the yield from tests performed with the N4373C by narrowing margins needed to pass the tested devices. This advanced design together with temperature-stabilized transmitter and receiver ensures repeatable measurements over hours without recalibration
Turn-key solution

Agilent N4373C Applications
In digital photonic transmission systems, the performance is ultimately determined by Bit Error Ratio Test (BERT). As this parameter describes the performance of the whole system, it is necessary to design and qualify subcomponents like modulators and PIN detectors, which are analog by nature, with different parameters that reflect their individual performance. These components significantly influence the overall performance of the transmission system with the following parameters: 3dB bandwidth of the electro-optical transmission. Relative frequency response, quantifying the electrooptical shape of the conversion. Absolute frequency response, relating to the conversion efficiency of signals from the input to the output, or indicating the gain of a receiver. Electrical reflection at the RF port. Group delay of the electro-optical transfer function. Only a careful design of these electro-optical components over a wide modulation signal bandwidth guarantees successful operation in the transmission system.
Agilent N4373C Features
Turnkey solution
In today's highly competitive environment, short time-tomarket with high quality is essential for new products. Instead of developing a home-grown measurement solution, which takes a lot of time and is limited in transferability and support, a fully specified and supported solution helps to focus resources on faster development and on optimizing the manufacturing process. In the N4373C all optical and electrical components are carefully selected and matched to each other to minimize noise and ripple in the measurement traces. Together with the temperature stabilized environment of the core components, this improves the repeatability and the accuracy of the overall system. Extended factory calibration data at various optical power levels ensures accurate and reliable measurements that can only be achieved with an integrated solution like the N4373C.
Easy calibration
An LCA essentially measures the conversion relation between optical and electrical signals. This is why user calibration of such systems can evolve into a time consuming task. With the new calibration process implemented in the N4373C, the tasks that have to be done by the user are reduced to one pure electrical calibration. The calibration with an electrical calibration module is automated and needs only minimal manual interaction.
Electro-optical components
The frequency response of detector diodes, modulators and directly modulated lasers typically depends on various parameters, like bias voltages, optical input power, operating current and ambient temperature. To determine the optimum operating point of these devices, an LCA helps by making a fast characterization of the electro-optic transfer function while optimizing these operating conditions. In manufacturing it is important to be able to monitor the processes in regular time slots to keep up the throughput and yield. In this case the LCA is the tool of choice to monitor transmission characteristic and absolute responsivity of the manufactured device.
Built-in performance verification
Sometimes it is necessary to make a quick verification of the validity of the calibration and the performance of the system. The N4373C's unique calibration process allows the user to perform a self-test without external reference devices. This gives full confidence that the system performance is within the user's required uncertainty bands.
State-of-the-art remote control
Testing the frequency response of electro-optical components under a wide range of parameters, which is often necessary in qualification cycles, is very time consuming. To support the user in minimizing the effort for performing this huge number of tests, all functions of the LCA can be controlled remotely via LAN over the state-of-the-art Microsoft .NET or COM interface. This interface is identical for all LCA of the N437xB/C series. Based on programming examples for VBA with Excel, Agilent VEE and C++, it is very easy for every user to build applications for their requirements. These examples cover applications like integration of complete LCA measurement sequences.
Electrical components
Electrical components such as amplifiers, filters and transmission lines are used in modern transmission systems and require characterization to ensure optimal performance. Typical measurements are bandwidth, insertion loss or gain, impedance match and group delay.

Integrated optical power meter
In applications where optical power dependence characterization is needed, the average power meter can be used to set the exact average output power of the LCA transmitter by connecting the LCA optical transmitter output, optionally through an optical attenuator, to the LCA optical receiver input. By adjusting the transmitter output power in the LCA user interface or the optical attenuation, the desired transmitter optical power can be set. In cases where an unexpectedly low responsivity is measured from the device under test, it is very helpful to get a fast indication of the CW optical power that is launched into the LCA receiver. The cause might be a bad connection or a bent fiber in the setup. For this reason too, a measurement of the average optical power at the LCA receiver is very helpful for fast debugging of the test setup.
Selectable output power of the transmitter
Most PIN diodes and receiver optical subassemblies need to be characterized at various average optical power levels. In this case it is necessary to set the average input power of the device under test to the desired value. The variable average optical output power of the LCA transmitter offers this feature. Together with an external optical attenuator, this range can be extended to all desired optical power levels.
Group delay and length measurements
In some applications it is necessary to determine the electrical or optical length of a device. With the internal length calibration of the electro-optical paths with reference to the electrical and optical inputs or outputs, it is possible to determine the length of the device under test
External optical source input
For applications where test of opto-electric devices need to be done at a specific optical wavelength like proposed in the IEEE 802.3ba standard, the N4373C-050 option offers an external optical input to the internal modulator where an external tunable laser can be applied. As modulators are polarization sensitive devices, this input is a PMF input to a PMF optical switch to maintain the polarization at the internal modulator and keep loss at a minimum. This external optical source input is required when O/E devices with integrated filter are to be characterized, or generaly when the O/E converter needs to be tested at different wavelengths than the internal source.

Definitions
Generally, all specifications are valid at the stated operating and measurement conditions and settings, with uninterrupted line voltage.
Explanation of terms
Responsivity
For electro-optical devices (e.g. modulators ) this describes the ratio of the optical modulated output signal amplitude compared to the RF input amplitude of the device. For opto-electrical devices (e.g. photodiodes) this describes the ratio of the RF amplitude at the device output to the amplitude of the modulated optical signal input.
Specifications (guaranteed)
Describes warranted product performance that is valid under the specified conditions. Specifications include guard bands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties changes in performance due to environmental changes and aging of components.
Relative frequency response uncertainty
Describes the maximum deviation of the shape of a measured trace from the (unknown) real trace. This specification has strong influence on the accuracy of the 3-dB cut-off frequency determined for the device under test.
Typical values (characteristics)
Characteristics describe the product performance that is usually met but not guaranteed. Typical values are based on data from a representative set of instruments.
Absolute frequency response uncertainty
Describes the maximum difference between any amplitude point of the measured trace and the (unknown) real value. This specification is useful to determine the absolute responsivity of the device versus modulation frequency.
General characteristics
Give additional information for using the instrument. These are general descriptive terms that do not imply a level of performance.
Frequency response repeatability
Describes the deviation of repeated measurement without changing any parameter or connection relative to the average of this measurements.
Minimum measurable frequency response
Describes the average measured responsivity when no modulation signal is present at the device under test. This represents the noise floor of the measurement system.

Specifications for electrical-electrical measurements (E/E mode)
All specifications of the E8361C-014 Network Analyzer apply. Please see the corresponding Network Analyzer data sheet and User's Guide.
Group delay uncertainty
For more details see specifications of the E8361C. Group delay Group delay is computed by measuring the phase change within a specified aperture (for aperture see below: Phase change [deg] ----------------------------------------Aperture [Hz] * 360
GD [s] =
(1)
Group delay uncertainty Is calculated from the specified phase uncertainty and from the aperture (for aperture see below): Phase uncertainty [deg] --------------------------------------- *sqrt(2) Aperture [Hz] * 360
GD [s] =
(2)
Aperture Determined by the frequency span and the number of points per sweep: Aperture: (frequency span) / (number of points-1)
GD Range The maximum group delay is limited to measuring no more than 180 degrees of phase change within the selected aperture (see Equation 1).
