I measured the RF response of the fiber-coupled NewFocus 1611, calibrating out the cable delay. The laser current was set to 20.0 mA, and the RF power going into the splitter was -10 dBm. The DC voltage was 1.87 V, and Gautam and I measured the power from the fiber at 344uW.
Something still looks very wrong -- the PD is supposed to be flat out to 1GHz, and physical units pending, need food. |
