Problems solved by technology

The multi-channel optical module needs to test the photoelectric indicators of each channel at the same time. In order to perform multi-channel testing at the same time, it is necessary to use multiple sets of single-channel test equipment or multi-channel equipment and optical power meters, attenuators, and oscilloscopes to achieve testing. Well-known instrument manufacturers The functions of single-channel and multi-channel test equipment are complicated and expensive. The tests of multi-channel optical modules mainly include bit error rate, sensitivity, eye diagram, etc. Among them, the cost of bit error meter and oscilloscope is relatively high, but they need to be used many times in production testing

When testing the sensitivity of an optical module, it is necessary to use an optical attenuator to adjust the input optical power to find the minimum input optical power that meets the test bit error rate requirements. These test processes require frequent insertion and removal of optical fibers to test the optical power in this case size, multiple plugging and unplugging of optical fibers will affect test accuracy and test efficiency
