Electro/Optical
Characteristics
(continued)
Analog
Operation
The
A370
Series
Laser
Module
has
the
capability
of
being
used
in
a wide
variety
of
analog
operations
.
These
may
include several
channels
of
pure
video
signals,
or
a
mix
of
video
signals with
digital
data
channels
riding
on
analog
carriers
.
It
is
difficult
to
prepare
a
single
battery
of
testing
conditions
that
will
satisfy
all
applications
.
The
following
table
contains
a
set
of
testing
conditions
that
Lucent
believes
will
give
a broad
indication
of
the
performance
of
the
A370
Series
Laser
Module
.
Please
contact
your
local Field
Application
Engineer
if
different
testing
conditions
and
parametric
limits
are
required
.
The
distortion
characteristics
are
measured
using
a
two-tone
test
.
The
frequencies
are
13
MHz
and
19
MHz
.
The
second-order
distortion
components
are
measured
at
f1
+
f2
=
32
MHz
and
f1
-
f2
=
6
MHz
.
All
third-order
distor-
tion
components
are
measured
in
the
frequency
range
of
5
MHz-200
MHz,
and
they
meet
the
required
level
.
All
measurements
are
made
with
SC-SPC
connectors
on
the
laser
module
pigtails
