Today's optical networks rely on precise signal integrity to attain trouble-free operation. With our new SIA Signal Integrity Analyzer and OE-2 Optical-to-Electrical Converter, you can comprehensively evaluate signal integrity in optical components and equipment. And, because these instruments are fast and easy to use, you can shorten time-to-market and increase your manufacturing throughput.

The combination of the OE-2 and SIA make standards-compliant measurements of total and deterministic jitter on optical signals. You can isolate deterministic, random and periodic jitter components, and identify specific jitter contributions to find the root cause. The OE-2 includes four low pass filters required by datacom standards and amplifiers to boost weak optical signals.

Wavecrest's GigaView software integrates these instruments into a powerful optical test system. With a push of a button, you can measure jitter components, extinction ratio, optical modulation amplitude, optical rise and fall times, or average optical power.

Multi-lane or CWDM optical networks present unique testing challenges-and we provide unique solutions. The multi-channel SIA-3000 can simultaneously measure jitter on all lanes or wavelengths. And, its powerful analysis tools can quickly evaluate jitter crosstalk among the optical signals. The result is precise design of 10 Gigabit Ethernet LX4, VSR, Infiniband and other parallel optical communications networks.
