INTRODU ION INTRODUCTION Ineludes the accessories along with information on the Q7607 operating environment, ancl information on hhow to perform a system checkout for users who operate the Q7607 for the first time. Product Description The Q7607 is an optical chirpform test set that contains fiber-type Mach-Zehnder interferometers and can convert the frequency modulated elements of incident light with intensity, The Q7607 can selectively output the sum of or difference between the chirp clements and intensity elements by switching measurement modes. Using a sampling escillescope and a personal computer, the Q7607 can separate the chirp and intensity ele- ments, and can generate these time-domain characteristics. Features + Opvimall FSR according 10 the signal rate can be selected: 10 Gbps or SO Gbps. + Wide wavelength range: 1510 nm to 1610 nm (When OPT 10 is installed: + Am optical amplifier can be equipped 330 nm to 1610 nen) + Dynamic chirp ean be measured in a short time: 30 seconds or less + Chirp measurement ean be performed with easy operation: Chirp mess software is available Recommended Devices Measuring dynamic chirp with the Q7607 instrument requires devices including an O/E converter, sampling ‘oscilloscope, and personal computer.

It must be handled with extreme caution, 1, The fiber tip of the light inpovoutput part requires frequent cleaning, Dirt or dust may damage the fiber ofthe light inpuVoutput part. For the operation and cleaning method of the part, refer to section 192 2. The optical connector adapter is a consumable part and has a limited life span. Under certain opera tional conditions, the separating sleeve inside of the optical connector adapter may become damaged. To replace of the damaged sleeves, refer to section 1.9.3.1 1.9.3.1 Operational Care and Replacement Methods for the Optical Connector Adapter When inserting the light fiber connector into the light input part or taking it out, move slowly and carefully, making sure the connector is kept straight. CAUTION: — The separating sleove inside of the connector is made of tireonium (fie ceramies) and may be damaged ifthe ligh fer connector is bent and is not straightened before insertion or if the con- tector i twisted while iti being taken out ‘The optical connector is a consumable past and has a limited life span. 1F it becomes damaged, purchase an accessory kit for the optical connector adapter and replace the part by removing the optical connector adapter in the same manner used when cleaning it To replace the optical connector adapter only, use the following procedures, 1. Remove the screws located on the upper left and lower right (opposite comers) 2. Replace with a new optical connector adapter (ie, FC-FC, SC-FC, ST-FC), In order to conserve the performance of the adapter, using a optical connector adapter with the separating sleeve made of zirconium is recommended.

Con nect the DUT ouput o the INPUT connector of the Q7607 3. Connect the Q7607 output connector tothe optical input connector ofthe sampling oscilloscope with an optical fiber Important Tips To measure chirp accurately, read the following items. 1, Usea sampling oscilloscope that provides sufficient bandwidth characteristics to the signal, Using am inappropriate bandwidth will result in obtaining inaccurate waveforms. Inpat optical power level is -10 dBm to +10 dBm. Ifthe input level is too low, the signal S/N is Low, sand a correct waveform cannot be obtained. Ifthe input level iso high, it may damage the Q7607 and the sampling oscilloscope, ‘When Option 10 is installed, attaching an optical filter to the output is recommended, Doing so may result in an increase of measurement error by the influence of the ASE element. 4, Make sure to adjust the sampling oscilloscope at zero level. Set the trigger offset to a minimum value 5.

Each component device can be assigned one or more roles from the three roles: controller talker, or listener. Only one talker can send data t9 the bus line, and plural listeners ean receive it. The comtroller specifies the talker and listener addresses, transfers data from talker to listeners, oF can itself become a talker to set measurement conditions, et. forthe listeners.
