The Tektronix P6703B optical-to-electrical converter, 1.2 GHz, 1100 to 1650 nm with FC/PC connector, converts optical signals into electrical signals for convenient analysis on Tektronix DPO7000 and DPO/MSO70000 series oscilloscopes with the appropriate adapters (see footnotes 1 and 2), any other Tektronix oscilloscope equipped with a TekProbe interface, or when used with the 1103 TekProbe power supply. The P6700 series O/E converters are ideal for characterizing optical sources in the development, manufacturing or servicing of communication devices and systems.
The P6701B and P6703B analog optical-to-electrical converters, small and conveniently packaged, provide an accurate interface for optical pulse shape measurements. The high gain, wide dynamic range and stable output offset of these O/E converters make them ideal for eye pattern analysis and extinction ratio measurements.
The optical input of the P6703B is a 1-meter, 62.5 μ multimode fiber with an FC/PC connector. With the standard assortment of hybrid fiber optic connector sleeves, this O/E can be adapted to the various industry connector standards.
The TekProbe interface provides power, automatic scaling, automatic termination and correct units (microwatts) when used with Tektronix DPO7000 or DPO/MSO70000 and TekProbe-series oscilloscopes equipped with earlier versions.
