The CORX Coherent Optical Receiver is a turn-key instrument designed to interface with any real-time oscilloscope by providing 4 single-ended RF outputs. It allows the coherent detection of polarization-multiplexed optical signals in the C-Band by mixing the test signal with a built-in local laser. However, over the years, this technology has been increasingly adopted for shorter reach applications, such as Data-Center Interconnect (DCI) and 5G/6G front/backhaul, to overcome physical limitations of Intensity-Modulation/Direct-Detect (IM/DD) as those applications demand higher throughput. High-bandwidth, low-noise architecture makes it ideal for high-quality, low-distortion coherent signal measurement. The polarization beam splitter (PBS) is realized in free space opti s. A monitor photodiode and a variable optical attenuator are available as an option. We ofer a igh Bandwidth Micro-ICR that addresses the latest. ethods to increase data throughput of existing optical networks. To achieve 100Gb/s, 400Gb/s, 1 /s and beyond, complex modulation formats have become prevalent. Certain performance param-eters.
