Tektronix acquire Picosecond Pulse Labs
Intending to strengthen the company's portfolio in the growing market for test equipment to support 100G/400G optical data communications research and development, Tektronix has announced the acquisition of Picosecond Pulse Labs. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Colorado-based, Picosecond Pulse Labs is a privately-held company offering a product portfolio which includes what the company claims to be the world’s fastest pulse generators, highest bandwidth sampler modules and ultra-high-speed pattern generators. Picosecond has recently introduced the PatternPro line that includes multi-channel 32 Gb/s data generators and analyzers for 100G/400G applications.
“Picosecond Pulse Labs has a long history of designing and manufacturing cutting-edge instrumentation and brings a particular focus on the high-speed optical test market with its new 32 Gb/s error detectors and pattern generators. When combined with our high-speed oscilloscopes and other product offerings, Picosecond will further strengthen our portfolio of solutions in the critical 100G/400G data communications segment,” commented Amir Aghdaei, President, Tektronix.
