Overview
IP traffic growth, driven by smartphone usage and video distribution, has led to the widespread adoption of 400GbE for high-capacity communications. Standards for 50, 100, and 200 Gbps/lane transmissions are advancing, demanding high-speed optical interfaces. Anritsu’s wideband linear amplifiers provide the high-speed signal sources needed to evaluate optical device performance in R&D, conformance testing, and manufacturing.
This application note explains the use cases from ‘Optical device evaluation configuration and evaluation items’ to ‘Optical device margin evaluation’ in accordance with actual applications.
