Tektronix DPO7OE1 Optical Probe, DC to 33 GHz, 750-1650 nm, 6.6 µW RMS Noise

Description

Wide wavelength coverage is what sets the Tektronix DPO7OE1 optical probe apart. Its listed range runs from 750 nm to 1650 nm, while the DPO7OE2 starts at 1200 nm. In plain terms, it is an optical-to-electrical probe that lets a Tektronix oscilloscope display a light signal as a waveform. Lost in HCM rents and sells it, plus it can arrange service on request.

One probe for short and long wavelengths

Many labs test both short-wave and long-wave optics. With a single probe that covers 750 to 1650 nm, they avoid swapping hardware between jobs. Also, the listed optical noise of 6.6 µW RMS is the lower of the two DPO7OE models. As a result, weak signals keep more detail on screen.

Key specs of the Tektronix DPO7OE1 optical probe

• Wavelength response: 750 nm to 1650 nm.
• High-bandwidth response: DC to 33 GHz.
• Optical noise: 6.6 µW RMS.
• Signaling: NRZ/PAM2 and PAM4 up to 28 Gbaud.
• Connection noted in the listing: TekConnect / ATI.

When the DPO7OE2 is the better pick

For lanes above 28 Gbaud, the DPO7OE2 lists PAM4 up to 56 Gbaud and response to 59 GHz. However, it gives up the shorter wavelengths. So choose by the fastest symbol rate and the wavelengths you must cover.

Typical work

Optical module makers use this kind of probe for eye and level checks during design. In addition, network equipment teams use it to verify links from new suppliers. Universities and photonics labs also rely on it for research on optical signals.

Handling the optics

Keep a dust cap on the input of the Tektronix DPO7OE1 optical probe between uses. Then clean each fiber end before you connect it. Above all, follow the manufacturer’s manual and ratings for optical input levels.

Ordering

Rent the DPO7OE1 for a module launch, an incoming-quality check or a research term. Or buy it if your lab runs optical tests all year. Before you ask, note your scope model, interface and fiber setup. Then request a quote from Lost in HCM.
