In the CSA8000 and TDS8000 instruments, the vertical units displayed for an
optical module are not in voltage, but are in watts, which is a unit of power. The
O/E converter inside the module outputs a voltage swing whose amplitude is
linearly dependent on the incoming optical power swing. In this condition the
voltage applied at the electrical sampler already represents Optical Power in its
linear form (as opposed to having to square the voltage and divide by R). For the
optical sampling modules, then, the bandwidth where the displayed optical
power is one half that approaching DC is:

The V

in such a system is one half (0.5) the V
DC
as opposed to 0.707. The
optical bandwidth, therefore, corresponds to the traditional electrical bandwidth
at –6 dB. During testing of optical modules via impulse testing, the resulting
impulse waveform is converted to frequency via Fourier transform, and the
bandwidth is defined as:
*

This definition is used for 2.5 GHz, 12.5 GHz, 20 GHz, and 30 GHz bandwidth
settings.
During reference receiver curve calculation, however, the definition is changed to
match the industry standard definition, which was authored assuming electrical
bandwidths where:

This definition is used for reference receiver settings OC12, OC48, OC192,
GBE, 2
