In a post-deadline paper delivered at last month’s ECOC conference in Geneva, researchers at EXFO Inc. and Chalmers University in Goteborg, Sweden described the use of the company’s PSO-200 Optical Modulation Analyzer to measure a 528-Gbps transmission using polarization-multiplexed 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM). The success of the demonstration highlights the capabilities of the company’s use of optical sampling for the PSO-200, EXFO asserts.
