General Information
Agilent's N4374B Lightwave Component Analyzer (LCA) is optimized for the electro-optical S-parameter measurement for Cable TV (CATV) and Radio over Fiber (RoF) or radio frequency over Glass (RFoG) applications. In modern CATV or RoF/RFoG transmission systems analog signals are directly transmitted over optical fiber. This requires very low distortion of the electro-optical devices at the transmitter and the receiver side. Therefore it is necessary to have very flat transfer characteristic in amplitude and delay. The N4374B LCA is the tool of choice to optimize your design for these parameters. For frequency dependent responsivity measurements the N4374B is the successor of the industry standard 8702 LCA series. It supports 75 Ohm test with a minimum loss pad (MLP). With a completely new design of the optical test set together with the newest ENA based network analyzer, the N4374B guarantees excellent electro-optical measurement performance. It's the excellent accuracy that improves the yield from tests performed with the N4374B, by narrowing margins needed to pass the tested devices. NIST traceability ensures worldwide comparability of test results. The fully integrated "turnkey" solution reduces time to market, compared to the time-consuming development of a selfmade setup. In addition a unique new calibration concept significantly reduces time from powering up the LCA until the first calibrated measurement can be made. This increases productivity in R&D and on the manufacturing floor. By optimizing the electrical and optical design of the N4374B for lowest noise and ripple, the accuracy has been improved by more than a factor of 5 compared to the 8702 series LCA and is now independent of the electrical reflection coefficient of the device under test. The advanced optical design together with temperaturestabilized transmitter and receiver ensures repeatable measurements over days without recalibration. Using the advanced measurement capabilities of the network analyzer, all S-parameter related characteristics of the device under test, like responsivity, ripple, group delay and 3dB-cutoff frequency, can be qualified with the new N4374B www..com Lightwave Component Analyzer from 100kHz to 4.5 GHz.

Agilent N4374B Applications
In photonic CATV or RoF transmission systems, it is necessary to design and qualify subcomponents like direct modulated lasers and receivers, which are analog by nature, with different parameters. Those parameters are core to the overall system performance. These electro-optical components significantly influence the overall performance of the transmission system via the following parameters: 3dB bandwidth of the electro-optical transmission Relative frequency response, quantifying the electrooptical shape of the conversion. Absolute frequency response, relating to the conversion efficiency of signals from the input to the output, or indicating the gain of a receiver. Electrical reflection at the RF port Group delay of the electro-optical transfer function Only a careful design of these electro-optical components over a wide modulation signal bandwidth guarantees successful operation in the transmission system.
Agilent N4374B Features
Turnkey solution
In today's highly competitive environment, short time-tomarket with high quality is essential for new products. Instead of developing a home-grown measurement solution which takes a lot of time and is limited in transferability and support, a fully specified and supported solution helps to focus resources on faster development and on optimizing the manufacturing process. In the N4374B all optical and electrical components are carefully selected and matched to each other to minimize noise and ripple in the measurement traces. Together with the temperature stabilized environment of the core components, this improves the repeatability and the accuracy of the overall system. Extended factory calibration data at various optical power levels ensures accurate and reliable measurements that can only be achieved with an integrated solution like the N4374B.
Easy calibration
An LCA essentially measures the conversion relation between optical and electrical signals. This is why user calibration of such systems can evolve into a time consuming task. With the new calibration process implemented in the N4374B, the tasks that have to be done by the user are reduced to one pure electrical calibration. The calibration with an electrical calibration module is automated and needs only minimal manual interaction. With the minimum loss pad (MLP) which is part of the LCA shipment the impedance match from 50 Ohm LCA system to 75 Ohm test device can be realized in an easy way. The correction for the 75 Ohm impedance is enabled with one button in the LCA software which uses default data to correct the MLP transfer behavior. For higher accuracy an individual calibration of the MLP can be realized with the adaptor removal tool which is part of each ENA-C
Electro-optical components
The frequency response of amplified or unamplified detector diodes, modulators and directly modulated lasers typically depends on various parameters, like bias voltages, optical input power, operating current and ambient temperature. To determine the optimum operating point of these devices, an LCA helps by making a fast characterization of the electrooptic transfer function while optimizing these operating conditions. In parallel the LCA also measures the electrical return loss. In manufacturing it is important to be able to monitor the processes regularly to keep up the throughput and yield. In this case the LCA is the tool of choice to monitor transmission characteristics and absolute responsivity of the manufactured device. The remote control of the N4374B offers another tool to improve the productivity by making automated measurements and analysis of the measured data.
Built-in performance verification
Sometimes it is necessary to make a quick verification of the validity of the calibration and the performance of the system. The N4374B's unique calibration process allows the user to perform a self-test without external reference devices. This gives full confidence that the system performance is within the user's required uncertainty bands.
Electrical components
Electrical components such as amplifiers, filters and transmission lines are used in modern transmission systems and require characterization to ensure optimal performance. Typical measurements are bandwidth, insertion loss or gain, impedance match and group delay. The new switched architecture offers direct access to the electrical outputs and inputs of the network-analyzers just by selecting electrical- to www..com electrical measurement mode in the LCA user interface.

State-of-the-art remote control
Testing the frequency response of electro-optical components under a wide range of parameters, which is often necessary in qualification cycles, is very time consuming. To support the user in minimizing the effort for performing this huge number of tests, all functions of the LCA can be controlled remotely via LAN over the state-of-the-art Microsoft .NET or COM interface. This interface is identical for all LCA of the N437xB/C series. Based on programming examples for VBA with Excel, Agilent VEE and C++, it is very easy for every user to build applications for their requirements. These examples cover applications like integration of complete LCA measurement sequences.
Integrated optical power meter
In applications where optical power dependence characterization is needed, the average power meter can be used to set the exact average output power of the LCA transmitter by connecting the LCA optical transmitter output, optionally through an optical attenuator, to the LCA optical receiver input. By adjusting the transmitter output power in the LCA user interface or the optical attenuation, the desired transmitter optical power can be set. In cases where an unexpectedly low responsivity is measured from the device under test, it is very helpful to get a fast indication of the CW optical power that is launched into the LCA receiver. The cause might be a bad connection or a bent fiber in the setup. For this reason too, a measurement of the average optical power at the LCA receiver is very helpful for fast debugging of the test setup.
Selectable output power of the transmitter
Most PIN diodes and receiver optical subassemblies need to be characterized at various average optical power levels. In this case it is necessary to set the average input power of the device under test to the desired value. The variable average optical output power of the LCA transmitter offers this feature. Together with an external optical attenuator, this range can be extended to all desired optical power levels.
Group delay and length measurements
In some applications it is necessary to determine the electrical or optical length of a device. With the internal length calibration of the electro-optical paths with reference to the electrical and optical inputs or outputs, it is possible to determine the length of the device under test

source input
For applications where test of opto-electric devices need to be done at a specific optical wavelength, the N4374B-050 offers an external optical input to the internal modulator where an external tunable laser can be applied. As modulators are polarization sensitive devices, this input is a PMF input to a PMF optical switch to maintain the polarization at the internal modulator.
