New Update

ECOC 2013, AUCKLAND, NZ & CHESTNUT RIDGE, USA: Coherent Solutions and Teledyne LeCroy announced the launch of a portfolio of Optical Modulation Analyzers (OMA) based on Coherent Solutions IQScope technology, seamlessly coupled with Teledyne LeCroy LabMaster 10 Zi real-time oscilloscopes.

The portfolio will be launched at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC), September 23 to September 25 at the Excel ICC, London.

The IQScope-RT Coherent Optical Receiver is now available with standard models operating with 42 GHz and 70 GHz electrical bandwidth, the highest bandwidth commercially available for a Coherent Optical Receiver.

This product is the result of a close engineering collaboration between Coherent Solutions and Teledyne LeCroy, and provides a hardware design tailored to give the highest possible performance, stability, reliability and accuracy for any Optical Modulation Analyzer. The IQScope-RT is controlled via the intuitive GUI of the LabMaster, and also fully exploits the advanced signal processing tools developed by Teledyne LeCroy.

Units with 42 and 45 GHz electrical bandwidth are currently in production, with the first customer deliveries scheduled for October. The 70 GHz version will be demonstrated at ECOC, with customer deliveries planned to commence in January 2014.

The analyzers use Teledyne LeCroy's LabMaster 10 Zi series of real-time oscilloscopes. LabMaster provides industry-leading performance, with bandwidths from 20 to 65 GHz and sample rates up to 160 GS/s. With its high-speed, real-time sampling, LabMaster can perform the digital signal processing required to analyze DP-QPSK signals.

LabMaster oscilloscopes utilize a modular design that allows up to twenty acquisition modules to be used with a single control module. With ChannelSync architecture, LabMaster acquisition modules can be perfectly synchronized, extending the already unique channel density performance by a factor of twenty to achieve up to eighty channels at 36 GHz and forty channels at 65 GHz.
