Keysight N4372E Lightwave Component Analyzer
Core Functions and Application Scenarios
The core function of the N4372E is to accurately measure the S-parameters of optoelectronic components. This is crucial for analyzing and optimizing the high-frequency performance of devices, such as determining key parameters like 3 dB bandwidth, absolute responsivity, and group delay.

It is primarily applied in the following cutting-edge fields:

High-speed optical communication R&D: Supports the development of 400G, 800G, and even 1.6T Ethernet, data communication, and telecommunications applications, particularly suitable for testing devices using high-bandwidth modulation formats like NRZ and PAM4.

Component characterization: An ideal tool for testing optical transmitters (such as directly modulated lasers), optical modulators, photodetectors (like PIN diodes, APDs), and integrated photonic devices.

Advanced technology sectors: Also plays a significant role in applications requiring high-frequency electro-optic testing, such as radio-over-fiber and aerospace and defense.

Technical Features and Advantages
The advantages of the N4372E lie in its high performance and ease of use:

Exceptional measurement accuracy: Its calibration is traceable to international standards (e.g., NIST), ensuring the reliability and comparability of measurement results across different times and locations.

High integration and ease of use: As a "turnkey" system, it comes pre-calibrated from the factory. It includes a built-in optical power meter and supports both built-in lasers and external tunable laser sources, offering great testing flexibility.

Rapid calibration process: On-site calibration is quick and straightforward, significantly enhancing testing efficiency.

Industry Recognition and Comparison
The performance and value of the N4372E have been recognized by the industry, winning the Lightwave Innovation Award in 2020.

To help you better position the N4372E, it is useful to briefly understand its sibling product, the N4373E. The N4373E has a frequency range of up to 67 GHz, making it suitable for testing devices with bandwidths of 50 GHz and below. Therefore, when your testing requirements demand the ultimate bandwidth of 110 GHz, the N4372E is the top choice in the series.

Summary
In summary, the Keysight N4372E is a high-end testing instrument for cutting-edge optical communication technology R&D. Its ultra-high bandwidth, exceptional accuracy, and integrated design make it a powerful tool for engineers pushing the performance limits of next-generation high-speed optical devices.
