Problems solved by technology

In high-speed module solutions, parallel multi-channel optical modules are widely used on optical networks due to their high cost performance and solution adaptability, such as QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable, four-channel miniaturized pluggable module), CFP ( 100Gigabit Form factor Pluggable, 100G pluggable module), CXP (120Gb / s 12x Small Form factor Pluggable, 120G optical module) optical modules, in the process of research and development and manufacturing, parallel multi-channel optical modules (40Gbs~ 120Gbs) involves a lot of test indicators, because of its multi-channel characteristics, the hardware test device used to realize various parameter tests requires a multi-channel signal generator, a multi-channel bit error meter, a multi-channel signal generator, a multi-channel bit error The price of an instrument is more than one million RMB, and the more channels it has, the more expensive it is; and the system required to complete all index tests is complicated to build, and it is impossible to find existing hardware test devices that meet the requirements
[0003] Existing testing devices require expensive multi-channel signal generators and bit error detectors. Due to the large number of testing procedures, such multi-channel signal generators and bit error detectors have to be reused during production, resulting in low production efficiency; As shown in the figure, a clock recovery module, multiple multi-channel optical switches and electrical switches are required, and the test system is huge and complex
