How to Optimize 1.6T Transceiver Manufacturing Tests
Scaling 1.6T production with high-throughput optical testing
Optimizing 1.6T optical transceiver manufacturing tests requires a reliable and accurate setup to fine-tune and detect defective devices. To meet AI data center demand, production tests must quickly ramp production while maintaining high test yield, speed, and efficiency for high throughput and lower costs. Optical sampling oscilloscopes characterize transmitter performance, measuring transmitter dispersion and eye closure quaternary (TDECQ) performance to determine pass / fail compliance.
Accurate TDECQ measurements across eight 224 Gb/s optical lanes and temperature ranges require a high-bandwidth, high-sensitivity sampling oscilloscope, optical switching, and test automation. Engineers may also fine-tune laser bias, modulator voltage, and other settings to optimize performance. During tuning and temperature ramp stages, the oscilloscope may sit idle, making it crucial to measure multiple device lanes at once to minimize downtime and maximize throughput for high-yield production scaling.
