DCA4201
10GHz Sampling Oscilloscope DCA4201
Based on equivalent time sampling and eye diagram reconstruction technology, Semight DCA4201 achieved high-precision and cost-effective measurement of high-speed optoelectronic digital signals. With various filter configuration options, it supports optical eye diagram testing at 10G and other 5 lower data rates. The DCA4201’s noise level is as low as 3 μW, ensuring low noise and high sensitivity. Its calibrated reference receiver, compliant with industry standards, enables an extremely wide dynamic measurement range to support testing of both multi-mode and single-mode signals across wavelengths ranging from 750 nm to 1650 nm.

[1]The optical bandwidth is represented by the optical power drop at the 3 dB point, that is, it describes the -3 dBo bandwidth here (-3 dBo=-6 dBe)
[2]The ±10 nm here is the wavelength error of the light source
[3]Only a few application scenarios are listed; for other application scenarios, please refer to the document's selection information section or consult sales
[4]This parameter is not used to characterize the performance indicators of the instrument, but is calculated from noise characteristics. Its meaning is the power value when performing a Mask test using an ideal eye diagram, influenced only by the oscilloscope's inherent noise, and the template margin is close to 0%. In actual testing scenarios, the specific minimum power point that can be tested is also related to the quality of the signal under test.
[5]This parameter is not used to characterize the performance indicators of the instrument. Its meaning is to test with an ideal signal, and the difference between the oscilloscope's calculated results and the theoretical calculation results. In actual testing scenarios, test consistency is related to the quality of the actual signal
[6]Destructive experiments were conducted by gradually increasing the input optical power (step 0.1 dBm). In practical applications, due to the instability of the light source, do not maintain the input optical signal at +5 dBm or above, as this may lead to a decline in product performance or damage
[7]Due to changes in the mode conditions, the measured power variation in multimode fiber will be greater than that in single-mode fiber. If the user needs to perform the most accurate power measurement, a power meter can be used for multimode power measurement
