Agilent N4376B 20 GHz and 26.5 GHz Multimode Lightwave ponent Analyzer Data Sheet .. General Information Agilent’s N4376B Lightwave ponent Analyzer (LCA) is the instrument of choice to test short wavelength 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel FCx8, FCx10 and FCx16 electro-optical ponents, with up to 20 or 26.5 GHz modulation range. The N4376B also supports the test of transmitter and receivers for optical puter backplanes and optical chip-to-chip connections in high speed puters and server applications. Modern optical transmission and data systems require fast, accurate and repeatable characterization of the core electro-optical ponents. These core subponents (lasers, modulators and detectors) have significant impact on the performance of the transmitter and the receiver with respect to modulation bandwidth, jitter, gain, and distortion of the final transceiver. For frequency dependent responsivity measurements the N4376B extends opto-electronic S-parameter measurements to multimode devices...
