The Tektronix P6701B is an Optical-to-Electrical (O/E) converter that translates optical signals into electrical signals for analysis on Tektronix oscilloscopes. Designed for optical communication systems and device characterization, it enables optical source analysis, eye pattern testing, and extinction ratio measurement across the 500 nm to 950 nm wavelength band.
Technical Specifications
• Bandwidth: DC to 1.2 GHz (typical: DC to 1.0 GHz; 1.1 GHz with 1 GHz low-pass filter)
• Wavelength Response: 500 nm to 950 nm
• Conversion Gain: 1 V/mW (calibrated at 780 nm)
• Rise Time: ≤ 500 ps (typical)
• Noise Equivalent Power (NEP): < 11 pW/√Hz
• Dynamic Range: 0 to -31 dBm (typical) or 0 to -35 dBm (typical)
• Maximum Input Optical Power: 1 mW (0 dBm), 10 mW (10 dBm), or 20 mW (13 dBm)
• DC Conversion Gain Linearity: 1 inch for optimal performance
– Typical Applications
• SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel system analysis
• Optical source characterization in development and manufacturing environments
– Compatibility & Integration
Works directly with Tektronix DPO7000 and DPO/MSO70000 Series oscilloscopes via TekProbe interface. Compatible with other TekProbe-equipped Tektronix oscilloscopes and DSA8300 Series sampling oscilloscopes when used with the optional 1103 TekProbe power supply for instruments lacking native TekProbe connectivity.
Operating Temperature: 0 to +50 °C | Storage Temperature: -40 to +71 °C
