The OE695G is designed to help troubleshoot optical-to-electrical signal integrity
issues at the board level. For system integrators who measure both electrical
and optical signals in their products, the OE695G provides electrical
measurements on optical signals, while taking full advantage of the Teledyne
LeCroy real-time oscilloscope tool set and the debugging capabilities of the
Teledyne LeCroy Serial Data and Crosstalk Analysis software options.
When connected to the oscilloscope, the OE695G becomes an integrated part of
the oscilloscope. Power is supplied to the OE695G by the oscilloscope (no
external power supply is needed), and the OE695G communicates to the
oscilloscope its identity and scaling information. The Optical Wavelength, Dark
Calibration and Reference Receiver functions are all controlled from the
oscilloscope’s user interface.
The OE695G is unique in that it operates with a real-time oscilloscope, not a
sampling oscilloscope, and uses a digital signal processing (DSP) filter to enable a
user-selectable reference receiver response. Since the optical input signal is
input to a real-time oscilloscope, it is possible to use the contiguous data
acquisition of the real-time oscilloscope to obtain serial data pattern knowledge
and provide Tj, Rj, and Dj decomposition to very high accuracy, like what is done
with high-speed electrical serial data signals. The low cost and general utility of
this optical to electrical converter makes it ideal for those who are already using
real-time oscilloscopes for electrical serial data measurements, and need to also
measure optical serial data signals as well.
Compatibility
The OE695G converter is compatible with WaveMaster/SDA/DDA 8
Zi/Zi-A, LabMaster 9 Zi-A, and LabMaster 10 Zi series oscilloscopes using
Teledyne LeCroy’s 2.92mm interface and Teledyne LeCroy’s ProLink
interface through the use of the LPA-2.92 ProLink to 2.92mm adapter.
Requires 6.9.0.0 or later version of Oscilloscope firmware.

Operation
Connecting the Unit to the Oscilloscope
To connect the optical to electrical converter to the Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscope:
1. Attach the OE695G 2.92mm connections to the oscilloscope 2.92mm
interface. Use a torque wrench to provide appropriate torque when
tightening.
2. If connecting to a ProLink interface, first connect the LPA 2.92mm
ProLink to 2.92mm adapter to the oscilloscope, then connect the
OE695G to the adapter.
3. Connect the OE695G LEMO connector to the power connection of the
oscilloscope 2.92mm interface or the LPA-2.92 adapter. Align the red
dot on the cable to the red mark on the connector.
4. Verify the LEMO power connector is locked to the connection.
5. Connect the other end of the SMA cable to the converter, if not already
connected. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper torque.
6. Connect the other end of the LEMO power cable to the OE695G.
7. To disconnect power, pull on the LEMO connector tip to release the lock
and pull out the LEMO connector.
Connecting the Unit to the Optical Fiber
A plastic cap covers the FC/PC input connector. Carefully remove this cover and
insert a fiber optic cable with a cladding dimension of 125 µm. The core
diameter should nominally be 62.5 µm. Other core diameters may be used with
the OE695G, but a smaller or larger diameter will alter the amount of light falling
on the photo-receiver and impact the gain accuracy of the OE695G. Both multimode and single-mode fibers may be used with the OE695G provided they are
mechanically compatible.
Operation with a Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscope
After the OE695G connectors are attached, the converter can be controlled
through the oscilloscope. Turning the VOLTS/DIV knob will control the
oscilloscope’s scale factor to give full dynamic range in µW/div.

Channel Dialog
When the OE695G is connected to a particular channel, the respective Channel
dialog will change to reflect the connection of the device:
An OE695G tab for controlling the converter is added to the Channel
dialog (Figure 1)
Gain settings are adjusted and vertical scale labels automatically change
to µW/div units
Coupling, bandwidth limit (BWL), and other selections are prohibited
since they must be preset to certain values to allow proper functioning
of the OE695G.
Figure 1 shows the oscilloscope user interface menu for the OE695G converter.
The dialog allows for the selection of the converter’s Dark Calibration, Reference
Receiver selection and Optical Wavelength selection functions.
Figure 1: OE695G tab of the oscilloscope’s Channel dialog.
Dark Calibration
The OE695G incorporates a Dark Calibration function to measure the channel
offset signal without any light present in the optical receiver.
To perform dark calibration, cover the OE695G input with the supplied cap, and
press the Dark Calibration button on the OE695G dialog. A scale factor value will
be calculated and displayed.
Dark calibration will vary with internal OE695G temperature (the dark calibration
level variation with temperature is -2 μW/ ºC typical), so if the device
temperature varies considerably, additional dark calibrations may be required.
After a dark calibration is performed, the temperature it was performed at will
be displayed in the Attributes section of the OE695G dialog, to the right.
Touch Set to Zero to reset the Dark Calibration value to zero.

Reference Receiver
The OE695G contains optional, built-in software reference receiver filters for
common Fiber Channel, Ethernet, and ITU telecom standards. These reference
receiver filters provide a 4-pole Bessel Thompson low pass filter response for the
combined oscilloscope and optical-to-electrical (O-E) system with the -3dBe
(electrical) power at 0.75* bitrate.
Available reference receiver filters include:
The software reference receiver supplied standard with the OE695G is based on
a “nominal” oscilloscope response. The typical uncertainty in this standard
reference receiver frequency response is ±1.6 dBe up to Fref =0.75*bit rate and
±4 dBe 2*bitrate setting.
An OE695G-REFCAL OE695G reference receiver calibration can be purchased
that will provide less uncertainty with the OE695G when used with a specific
oscilloscope and a specific channel. This REFCAL is usually purchased at the time
of initial OE695G and oscilloscope purchase. If this is the case, then Teledyne
LeCroy will calibrate the specific OE695G to a specific serial number oscilloscope
channel (channel 4 unless otherwise specified) and the resultant reference
receiver uncertainty will be ±0.85 dBe up to Fref =0.75*bit rate, and ±4 dBe
2*bit rate setting on the specified oscilloscope input channel on the 11, 17, 20,
30, 39, 50, 75, 90, or 100 mV/div gain ranges. The calibration will be indicated
on the OE695G dialog, shown above. Multiple OE695G can be calibrated to
unique oscilloscope channels to allow usage of multiple OE695G.
NOTE: If the OE695G-REFCAL is purchased after the initial OE695G/oscilloscope
purchase, the oscilloscope must be returned to Teledyne LeCroy for the OE695GREFCAL to be performed.
A custom reference receiver (User Defined) can be applied for any bit rate up to
11.5 Gb/s. Bit rates up to 12.5 Gb/s bit rates may be specified, but beyond 11.5
Gb/s, the reference receiver requirements cannot be maintained.

Warning Message
Explanation
XML data not found
Warns that the XML file containing additional
information regarding calibration of the probe is not
present, and the probe would work in only a very limited
way. If you see this message, stop using the probe and
contact Teledyne LeCroy for support.
Nominal reference
receiver response applied
The oscilloscope channel connected to the OE695G does
not match any previously calibrated channels, therefore a
nominal reference receiver response is applied.
Calibrated reference

The scope channel connected to the OE695G matches
one of the recalibrated scope channels of the OE695G.
This should be the normal operation mode.

Input Selection for Optical Wavelength
There are four standard optical wavelength selections at 785nm, 850nm,
1310nm and 1550nm. Custom optical wavelength can be adjusted between
750nm to 1650nm; however, gain of the OE695G can vary widely at different
wavelengths, and calibration of gain is only performed at the standard
wavelengths. At other wavelengths, gain is assumed to follow a linear slope, but
this assumption will not yield the stated vertical level power accuracy
specification. However, the overall signal fidelity will still be maintained.

err-frac = [(Observed – Residual) – Input]/Input
The error fraction should be in the range –Δ < err-frac < +Δ where Δ is
determined by the sum of the magnitudes of the allowed OE695G
uncertainty (e.g., 10% or 0.1) and the optical power meter uncertainty
(e.g., 6% or 0.06). In this example Δ = 0.16.
9. If an incorrect result is obtained, repeat the measurement sequence
with careful cleaning and mating of the optical interfaces, which are
prone to variation from small particles, oils, or other non-idealities.
