EO measurements (lasers, modulators)
The measurement of an EO transducer is a combination of input
modulating current and output optical modulation power.
Slope responsivity is used to describe how a change in input
current produces a change in optical power. Graphically this is
shown in the figure below.
An LCA measures input modulating current and output
modulation power and displays the ratio of the two in
Watts/Amp, either linearly or in decibels.
