Agilent / Keysight 86103A 2.8 GHz optical / 20 GHz electrical range: 1000-1600 nm

Agilent / Keysight 86103A,”This optical/electrical module provides 2.8 GHz optical bandwidth and 20 GHz electrical bandwidth, tailored for applications in the 1000 to 1600 nm wavelength range. It’s particularly useful for analyzing lower-speed optical signals while still supporting high-frequency electrical measurements, providing dual-domain analysis in one integrated solution. The module features a sensitive optical receiver with high input linearity, allowing precise analysis of eye diagrams, timing jitter, and optical signal amplitude. On the electrical side, it supports fast rise-time signal evaluation and minimal signal distortion across a broad frequency range. Engineers benefit from configurable input sensitivity and filtering, along with real-time waveform processing through integration with compatible sampling scopes. Its modular architecture enables quick installation, upgrade, or replacement in complex test systems. Ideal for evaluating optical communication devices, fiber transceivers, and electrical backplane signals, it offers broad application in R&D, compliance testing, and manufacturing quality control. The instrument maintains signal integrity even under varying power conditions and environmental factors. It supports both single-mode optical inputs and coaxial electrical connectors. Reliable performance, minimal setup time, and broad measurement capability make this module essential for developers and technicians working on mixed optical and electrical systems or validating interoperability across subsystems.”
