  • Automated system, and corresponding method, for determining average optical output power of electro-optic modules
    Patent number: 5652668
    Abstract: An automated, computer-controlled system automatically measures various parameters associated with the transmitter and/or receiver of an electro-optic module. Measured transmitter parameters include transmitter average power, transmitter rise/fall time, transmitter extinction ratio, transmitter duty cycle distortion, and transmitter data dependent jitter. Measured receiver parameters include receiver sensitivity, receiver pulse width distortion, receiver signal detect threshold, and receiver signal detect assert/deassert times.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 1995
    Date of Patent: July 29, 1997
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Nancy Ruth Aulet, David Charles Bogdan, Muhammed Ishtiaq Hussain, George William Hutt, Donald Lynn Pearl, David Todd Pribula
