Automated Optical Transceiver Testing in PXI
Modern optical transceivers have been integral to meeting the significant and ever-increasing demand for bandwidth in datacom transmission. Because of the wide variety of formats available, optical transceivers are increasingly being deployed into non-datacom applications in the automotive, aerospace and defence industries. As the transceivers form a core part of data connectivity, testing them for their performance is an important part of the system construction. In this application note, we will showcase some of the common test configurations designed for transceivers which use multi-fiber channels of multimode fiber (MMF), running at the wavelength range of 850nm
