#ECOC23: Keysight demos terabit data center innovations

At ECOC 2023, Keysight is showcasing solutions that accelerate the transition of networks and data centers to 800G, 1.6T, or higher, including:

  • Photonic IC testing –Verify photonic integrated circuits (PIC) designs on chip level for optical parameters insertion loss (IL), polarization dependent loss/gain (PDL / PDG), and optoelectronic S-parameters S21, S(l) .
  • 224 Gbps optical test –Keysight N1032A/B optical reference receiver for testing 100-Gbaud class transmitters. When combined with the Keysight high-speed arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) or bit error ratio tester (BERT), next-generation 800G / 1.6T systems can be verified.
  • Multichannel optical test – the new Keysight FlexOTO optical test automation software reduces test and validation time by maximizing test efficiency without compromising measurement integrity for high channel count Tx validation, characterization, and manufacturing testing.
  • 200 Gbaud optics research – a 1.6 Tbps optical transmission using the Keysight M8199B AWG connected to an ultra-high bandwidth coherent-driver modulator with a Keysight N4391B optical modulation analyzer (OMA) performing the signal reception and demodulation.
  • 1.6 TAUI design validation – the Keysight 224G Reference Receiver measures jitter decomposition and high-precision phase-locked loop (PLL) operations on a live 224G transmitter design. The solution supports C2M TP1a electrical validation measurements of IEEE 802.3dj and OIF-CEI 224G standards.
  • 224 Gbit/s electrical test – he Keysight M8050A high-performance bit error ratio tester (BERT), which validates and characterizes digital receivers operating at speeds up to 224 Gbps. Also learn how to analyze error performance and measure jitter tolerance in real-time by employing the Keysight M8043A error analyzer, which features powerful equalization and de-embedding functions up to 64 Gbaud when using the Keysight M8067A ISI channel board.
