Agilent 83433A 10 Gb/s Lightw***e Tran***itter
Modified for N***al Test Systems.
The Agilent 83433A lightw***e tran***itter is based on a lithium niobate modulator driven by an internal CW DFB 1552.52 nm laser. The laser and modulator are inter-connected externally with a PMF fiber. The modulator can also be used with an external laser with polarization maintaining fiber such as the Agilent 8164A, with 81680A option 071.

The Agilent 83433A is designed to produce high fidelity, low jitter w***eforms for 2.488 Gb/s STM-16/OC-48, 9.953 Gb/s STM-64/OC-192 and other tran***ission rates up through 10.7 Gb/s. The Agilent 83433A is intended for BER testing with error performance analyzers such as the Agilent 71612B. The Mach-Zehnder modulator is adjusted for a fixed zero chirp. Its output w***eform produces a minimum extinction ratio of 12 dB.

The internal DFB laser can be modulated at frequencies from 15 kHz to 10 MHz to increase linewidth for SBS suppression or channel identification applicati***. The internal laser w***elength can be adjusted &plu***n;1.25 nm around the 1552.52 center w***elength. The Agilent 83433A can be combined with the Agilent 83434A 10 Gb/s lightw***e receiver to create a complete optical link for system or fiber testing, or to form a basis for substitution testing of commercial tran***itters and receivers.
