Various wavelength ranges

The O2E can be customized to a wide range of wavelengths and is suitable for single mode  and multimode applications.

High bandwidth

Our high performing O2E allows you to successfully test high baudrate signals with up to  50GHz of bandwidth.

Calibrated readings

Onboard storage of calibration data can be accessed via SCPI commands, making it easier to generate calibrated measurements and scale your measurement capabilities.

Amplified RF output

Various conversion gain options allow you to easily measure low power, high speed optical signals.

DC or AC coupled

Choose from DC or AC coupling to suit your specific test application.

Simple, intuitive operation with CohesionUI™

CohesionUI is an intuitive web-based user interface that makes it simple to control our instruments from modern web browsers or smartphones.

Excellent measurement correlation with our optical PXI modules

Shared product architecture lets you validate your system and test requirements in the lab with the benchtop version, and scale up to high-volume automated production testing with our O2E PXI modules.
