Anritsu Corporation has launched the MP2110A-080, a 60 GHz optical sampling oscilloscope option for the BERTWave MP2110A. This solution enables accurate measurement of key optical signal parameters as defined by industry standards, supporting the development and manufacturing of 200G/Lane and 1.6T optical transceivers for high-capacity data centers and AI infrastructure.
As AI data centers push transmission rates from 50 Gbaud to 100 Gbaud, engineers require test solutions capable of accurate evaluation of optical transceiver signals according to standard requirements.
Technical Challenge: Bandwidth Scaling for 200G/Lane Systems
The transition to 200G/Lane transmission introduces fundamental measurement challenges. Traditional test equipment lacks sufficient bandwidth to capture the harmonic content and high-frequency distortions that become increasingly critical at 100 Gbaud PAM4 signaling rates. This bandwidth limitation makes it difficult to accurately measure key optical parameters required by industry standards, potentially allowing important characteristics to escape detection during development and manufacturing validation.
The shift from 800G to 1.6T aggregate data rates compounds this challenge, as multiple high-speed lanes must be simultaneously evaluated without compromising measurement accuracy or throughput requirements. The technology will be demonstrated Anritsu’ stand C4335 at ECOC 2025 (Copenhagen, September 29-October 1), showcasing real-world applications in 1.6T transceiver validation and AI data center infrastructure testing.
