General Information
Agilent's N4375B Lightwave Component Analyzer (LCA) is the instrument of choice to test 10G Ethernet, FCx8, FCx10 and FCx16 electro-optical components, with up to 20 or 26.5 GHz modulation range. Modern optical transmission systems require fast, accurate and repeatable characterization of the core electro-optical components, the transmitter, receiver, and their subcomponents (lasers, modulators and detectors), to guarantee performance with respect to modulation bandwidth, jitter, gain, and distortion of the final transceiver. For frequency dependent responsivity measurements the N4375B is the successor of the industry standard 8703A/B LCAs. With a completely new design of the optical test set and a new RF-switched architecture, together with the latest PNA family of network analyzers, the N4375B guarantees excellent electro-optical measurement performance. In addition a unique new calibration concept significantly reduces time from powering up the LCA until the first calibrated measurement can be made. This increases productivity in R&D and on the manufacturing floor. The fully integrated "turnkey" solution reduces time to market, compared to the time-consuming development of a selfmade setup. By optimizing the electrical and optical design of the N4375B for lowest noise and ripple, the accuracy has been improved by more than a factor of 3 and is now independent of the electrical reflection coefficient of the device under test. It's the excellent accuracy that improves the yield from tests performed with the N4375B, by narrowing margins needed to pass the tested devices. NIST traceability ensures worldwide comparability of test results. The advanced optical design together with temperaturestabilized transmitter and receiver ensures repeatable measurements over days without recalibration. Using the advanced measurement capabilities of the network analyzer, all S-parameter related characteristics of the device under test, like responsivity, ripple, group delay and 3dB-cutoff frequency, can be qualified with the new N4375B Lightwave Component Analyzer from 10 MHz to 20 GHz.

Agilent N4375B Applications
In digital photonic transmission systems, the performance is ultimately determined by bit error ratio test (BERT), which parameter describes the performance of the whole system. However it is necessary to design and qualify subcomponents like modulators and receivers, which are analog by nature, with different parameters. Those parameters are core to the overall system performance. These electro-optical components significantly influence the overall performance of the transmission system via 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 funktion Only a careful design of these electro-optical components over a wide modulation signal bandwidth guarantees successful operation in the transmission system.
Agilent N4375B 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 N4375B 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 N4375B.
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 N4375B, the tasks that have to be done by the user are reduced to one pure electrical calibration. The calibration with an electrical microwave calibration module is automated and needs only minimal manual interaction.
Electro-optical components
The frequency response of amplified or unamplified 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 electrooptic transfer function while optimizing these operating conditions. In parallel the LCA also measures the electrical return loss. In manufacturing it is important to be able to monitor the processes regularly to keep up the throughput and yield. In this case the LCA is the tool of choice to monitor transmission characteristics and absolute responsivity of the manufactured device. The remote control of the N4375B offers another tool to improve the productivity by making automated measurements and analysis of the measured data.
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 N4375B'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. 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. The new switched architecture offers direct access to the electrical outputs and inwww..com puts of the network-analyzers just by selecting electrical- to electrical measurement mode in the LCA user interface.

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 (ROSA's) 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
Large signal measurements
LCA S21 measurements are typically small-signal linear transfer function measurements. If an electro-optical component must be tested under large signal conditions, normal balanced measurements might lead to wrong measurement results. The PNA-X based version of the LCA offers true balanced measurements for differential ports by offering two independent high power RF sources. With this setup the LCA measures the correct S21 transfer function of E/O components, even in the nonlinear regime. To stimulate O/E components like PIN-TIA receivers under optical large signal conditions, the PNA-X based LCA offers a variable optical modulation index up 50%.

External optical source input
For applications where test of opto-electric devices need to be done at a specific optical wavelength, the N4375B-050 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 modulator input.
