Getting Started

This section contains a description of the P6701B, P6703B, and

P6723 O/E Converters and information about features, options,

accessories, and proper installation.

Product Description

The P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 products (Figure 1) are optical-to-

electrical (O/E) converters that convert optical communication and

optical video signals into electrical signals for display on an

oscilloscope.

 The P6701B analog converter accepts short wavelength signals

(500 to 950 nm) present in multimode fibers. Conversion gain of

1V/mW is calibrated at 780 nm.

 The P6703B analog converter accepts longer wavelength signals

(1100 to 1600 nm) present in singlemode or multimode fibers.

Conversion gain of 1V/mW is calibrated at 1310 nm.

 The P6723 digital converter views the digital content of optical

signals (1100 to 1600 nm) with data rates up to 650 Mb/s. The

P6723 converts the digital content of the optical signal to an

electrical signal with a constant voltage of approximately 1 V

p-p

P6701B, P6703B & P6723 Instructions

The P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 O/E Converters have the

TekProbe II interface which is standard on Tektronix TDS, 1140X,

and DSA600 series oscilloscopes. The interface supplies power to

the converter, selects the correct vertical scale (watts/division), and

automatically sets the 50 W termination on the oscilloscope input.

Figure 2 shows the input connector of the TekProbe II interface.

Figure 2: TekProbe II interface (input)

To adapt the P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 O/E Converters to

measurement instruments that do not have the TekProbe II interface,

order the Tektronix 1103 TekProbe Power Supply.

P6701B, P6703B & P6723 Instructions

Installation

Before you connect the output of the P6701B, P6703B, and P6723

O/E Converters, determine whether or not your instrument has the

TekProbe II interface (see Figure 2 on page 6).

Instruments with the TekProbe II Interface

For instruments that have the TekProbe II interface, simply connect

the converter to the oscilloscope input. The interface provides

connections for power, signal, and scale factor coding.

NOTE. TDS 400 and TDS 400A series oscilloscopes always interpret

the P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 attenuation setting as  10 and

display units as V instead of mW. When you use the O/E converters,

divide the measurement (or scale factor) by 10 and interpert

measurements as milliwatts instead of volts.

Instruments without the TekProbe II Interface

For instruments that do not have the TekProbe interface, order the

optional 1103 TekProbe Power Supply. Accessories are also

available to terminate the output into the required 50 W.

Operating Basics

This section presents the basic information necessary you need to

know to operate the P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 O/E Converters.

Operating Safety

WARNING. To avoid eye injury, wear eye protection if risk of

exposure to high-intensity rays or laser radiation exists.

Cleaning

Small dust particles and oils can easily contaminate fiber-optic

connectors and reduce or block the signal. Take care to preserve the

integrity of your connectors by keeping them free of contamination.

CAUTION. To prevent loss of optical power or damage to the

fiber-optic connectors, keep the connectors clean at all times.

When cleaning the connectors with a swab, use gentle circular

motions. Use only high quality cleaning supplies that are non-abra-

sive and leave no residue.

To reduce the need for cleaning, immediately replace protective caps

on the fiber-optic connectors when not in use.

Operating Basics

14

P6701B, P6703B & P6723 Instructions

To remove contamination, clean the fiber-optic connectors using the

following procedure:

Equipment Required

 Clean compressed air

 Fiber-optic cleaning swabs

 Isopropyl alcohol

Procedure

1. Hold the can of compressed air upright and spray the can into the

air to purge any propellant.

2. Spray the clean compressed air on the connectors to remove any

loose particles or moisture.

3. Moisten a clean fiber-optic swab with isopropyl alcohol then

lightly swab the surfaces of the connectors.

4. Spray the clean compressed air on the connectors again to

remove any loose particles or isopropyl alcohol.

NOTE. Cleaning kits for fiber-optic connectors are available from a

number of suppliers.

Operating Basics

P6701B, P6703B & P6723 Instructions

15

Handling

Even though the fiber-optic cable of the P6701B, P6703B, or P6723

O/E Converter is protected by a jacket and strain relief, the

fiber-optic cable should be handled carefully at all times.

CAUTION. To avoid damaging the P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 O/E

Converters, take the following precautions:

Do not crush, crimp, or sharply bend the fiber optic cable.

Do not pull or yank the fiber-optic cable.

Do not drop the converter assembly since damage and misalignment

of the photodiode optical assembly can result. Store the converter in

a secure location when not in use.

Replace the protective cap on the connector when the converter is

not in use.

Optical Input

The P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 O/E Converters can be connected

to optical fibers with a core diameter of up to 62.5 mm through one

of the FC, ST, SC, or DIN adapters. Adapter cables that aid in

connecting many other popular optical connectors are also available.

(Refer to Optional Accessories on page 9.)

CAUTION. To maintain the high performance (low return loss) of the

O/E converter, connect an adapter and cable between the input of

the O/E converter and the device under test. When you make

connections to other devices, leave the adapter and cable in place to

protect the optical connector of the O/E converter from wear.

If you connect fiber cores larger than 62.5 mm, the O/E converters

may still couple light, but the mismatch in core diameter will cause

lower conversion gain and high insertion loss.

Operating Basics

16

P6701B, P6703B & P6723 Instructions

Electrical Output

The P6701B and P6703B O/E converters output approximately

1 V/mW across 50 W at the nominal calibrated wavelength (780 nm

for the P6701B converter and 1310 nm for the P6703B converter).

The P6723 O/E converter provides a nominal NRZ (non return to

zero) signal (X 1 V

p-p

) that is AC-coupled to the 50 W output. The

P6723 converter provides a constant peak-to-peak amplitude

electrical output for long wavelength optical signals (1310/1550 nm)

ranging from –8 dBm to –28 dBm average optical power.

Correcting for Conversion Gain

You can compensate your measurement for wavelengths that have a

conversion gain other than one. For example, if you are using a

P6703B to measure a signal with a wavelength of 1550 nm, the

conversion gain at that wavelength is typically 1.1 V/mW versus

1.0 V/mW at 1310 nm (see Figure 7 on page 23). To correct the

measurement to 1 V/mW, multiply the measurement by 0.909 (the

reciprocal of 1.1).

If your measurement instrument is so equipped, you can automatical-

ly multiply displayed waveforms or measurements by the appropriate

correction factor. Refer to your instrument manual for details.
