Introduction The N439IA optical modulation analyzer is a universal tool for anyone who need to quantify the integrity of vector modulated signais in digital high speed optical transmission for 100G and beyond. The N4391A optical modulation analyzer is based on the same architecture as proposed for 100G cohrent transmission by the Optical Internetworking Forum (01F). Therefore it is based on cohrent polarization-diverse d驩tection with real-time data acquisition to provide optimal phase tracking of the measured signal. The N4391A analysis software is based on the 89600 Vector Signal Analysis...

Constellation and Eye Diagram Analysis Optical 1-0 diagram The l-Q diagram (also called a polar or vector diagram) displays demodulated data traced as the in-phase signal (I) on the x-axis versus the quadrature-phase signal (Q) on the y-axis. This tool gives deeper insight into the transition behavior of the signal, show-ing overshootand an indication of whether the signal is bandwidth limited when a transition is not close to a straight line.

Spectral Analysis and Transmitter Laser Characterization Narrow-band, high-resolution spectrum The narrow-band high resolution spectrum displays the Fourier-transformed spectrum of the time-domain signal. The center-frequency corresponds to the local oscillator frequency. as entered in the user interface. This tool gives a quick overview of the spectrum of the analyzed signal and the resulting requirements on channel width in the transmission System. The spectrogram shows the volution of the spectrum over time, offering the option to monitor drifts ofthe carrier laser (see Figure 17)....

Symbol Polarization Display With real-time polarization-diverse dtection, ail information of the incoming electromagnetic field is available from the instrument The sampled signal is displayed as a blue dot in the Stokes space. The example on the right side shows the typical distribution of a polarization multiplexed incoming signal with QPSK modulation. This display shows the distribution of the symbols and the transition on the Stokes space and supports signal integrity test at each point in the optical link from transmitter to receiver.

Theory of Opration The optical modulation analyzer makes use of the most advanced optical dtection technology with a combina-tion of coh驩rent and polarization sensitive dtection. The core building blocks are: 1. The optical polarization-diverse cohrent receiver 2. The data acquisition unit 3. Polarization alignment 4. The 39600 vector signal analyzer software Optical polarization-diverse coh驩rent dtection The input signal provided to the receiver is split into x and y polarization planes and fed into an optical l-Q mixer (optical hybrid), for each polarization plane. The optical local...

the demodulator to lock to the signal and tecovet the symbols. The VSA receives two independent 1-0 data stteams from the digital polarization processing stage. The demodulator uses the selected center frequency and symbol rate to lock to the carrier and recover the symbol dock from the modulated carrier. Note that the demodulator rfrence dock does not need to be locked wtth the source clock. The demodulator automatically provides carrier and symbol lock; there is no need to supply an externat source clock. The signal then goes through a compensation processthat applies gain and phase...
