The optical oscilloscope card is an optical data acquisition card for easily digitizing optical signals.
Picture Above: Optical Oscilloscope Card
This card is made for receiving optical signals and digitizing the signal, so that the waveforms or data can be analyzed using LabView, Matlab or other development and analysis software environments.
A proprietary optical amplifier circuit allows for the sensitivity to be varied dramatically with minimal impact on bandwidth and noise performance. The card has an on-board FPGA to allow for custom high-speed embedded processing of data, and also permits full speed transmission of data to the controller for logging or other analysis.
Main Characteristics
Number of Channels: 2 independent channels
Form Factor: PXIe
Fiber Optic Connectors: either FC or ST (other connectors upon request)
Wavelength: Can be configured for visible or infrared wavelengths
Gain: 10,000 to over 6,000,000 with low noise, selectable via software
Bandwidth: > 5 MHz at low gain, > 1MHz at max gain, lower bandwidth available as well
AC or DC coupling selectable via software
A/D Converter: Max sample rate of 125 MHz on both channels simultaneously
Software: The optical oscilloscope card comes with a software application which controls the gain of the processor card, captures data, and either saves the data to a CSV file and/or plots the data.
