Keysight lines up test innovations for ECOC 2024

• Photonic IC testing – This demo will show how to verify photonic integrated circuits at the wafer / die levels. The product panel features Keysight’s measurement automation solution alongside third-party probing technologies, with a measurement algorithm seamlessly controlling wavelength, biasing, and polarization.

• Testing in quantum photonics – Learn how to minimize the timing jitter of single-photon detectors (SPD)for accurate quantum communication to ensure secure and efficient long-distance links.

• Validate 800G linear optics – Keysight will demonstrate how to test link performance using classical retimed optics, linear pluggable optics (LPO), and linear receive optics (LRO) with the Keysight AresOne platform. In addition learn how to analyze optical and electrical signal integrity using the Keysight DCA Series N1092A and N1060A sampling oscilloscopes (pictured).

• Characterize 224G optical RX – Keysight will show how to measure stressed receiver sensitivity under accurate and repeatable conditions using a Keysight sampling oscilloscope, the new Keysight N7718C optical reference transmitter, and other Keysight solutions.
  

• Research 448 Gbps optical – This demo will highlight how the new Keysight Optical Reference Transmitter, driven by the Keysight M8199B arbitrary waveform generator paves the way to 448 Gbps net bitrate per lane using intensity modulation / direct detection (IM-DD) technology.
  

• Photonic IC simulation – In this demo, Keysight will showcase its Electronics Photonics Design Automation (EPDA), an integrated environment for PIC designers in Keysight’s Advanced Design System. EPDA includes models for photodetectors, micro-ring resonators, and modulators and a standards compliance verification suitefor 400GBASE-LR8, CEI-VSR-PAM4, and more.

In addition to solution demonstrations, Armands Ostrovskis, technical marketing engineer at Keysight, will participate in several presentations, including:

• Silicon Photonics GeSi Electro Absorption Modulator for Beyond 300 Gb/s 
• Optical-amplification-free 212.5 Gbaud/lambda links
