Tektronix P6703B Optical-to-Electrical Converters

The Tektronix P6700 Series optical-to-electrical (O/E) converters change optical signals into electrical signals for convenient analysis on Tektronix TDS7000/5000/3000/500/600/700 Series oscilloscopes equipped with the TEKPROBE interface, or any other oscilloscope when used with the 1103 TEKPROBE power supply. The P6700 Series O/E converters are ideal for optical source characterization in the development, manufacture or service of optical communication systems and devices. Small, conveniently packaged P6701B and P6703B optical-to-electrical analog converters provide an accurate interface for optical pulse shape measurements. The high gain, large dynamic range and stable output offset of these O/E converters make them ideal for performing eye-pattern analysis and extinction measurements. The P6701B/P6703B optical input is a one meter, 62.5µ multimode fiber with an FC/PC connector. Using the standard assortment of hybrid fiber optic mating sleeves, these O/Es can accommodate the various industry connector standards. The TEKPROBE interface provides power, auto-scaling, auto-termination and correct units (microwatts) when used with Tektronix TDS500/600/700 Series oscilloscopes. SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel Reference Receiver Performance The P6701B and P6703B can be transformed into ITU G.957 or ANSI FC-PH reference receivers when they are either ordered as an option (3C - P6701B, 4C - P6703B) to the latest Tektronix TDS500C/700 Series digitizing oscilloscopes or as a stand-alone hardware solution (nominal). The TDS Option 3C provides a calibrated P6701B reference receiver for Fibre Channel dates rates from 133 Mb/s up to 1063 Mb/s. Option 4C provides a calibrated P6703B reference receiver for SONET/SDH date rates from 52 Mb/s up to 622 Mb/s. The optical-to-electrical converters are matched and calibrated to a specific scope channel which ensures complete system compliance with the fourth-order Bessel-Thompson frequency response. The P6703B, when used in conjunction with the FS52, FS156 or FS622 SONET/SDH hardware filters, provide customers with a nominal reference receiver performance for 51.84 Mb/s, 155.52 Mb/s, and 622 Mb/s. The standard P6701B has a nominal frequency response which follows the fourth-order Bessel-Thompson for Fibre Channel 1063 Mb/s. The 1103 TEKPROBE power supply can be used to connect these products to the 11800 Series or CSA803 Series sampling oscilloscopes.
