Recently contacted by CPPM for system validations:

• Recently contacted by CPPM for system validations:

• Lab experiments (march 2013):
• Minimum 2  - 50 GHz spacing - in the C-band
• Equivalent loss and chromatic dispersion of worst case
• Continuous data stream at 1 or 10 Gbit/s of Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (231-1 bits) - Non Return to Zero data
• Use of the REAM of the project (provided by CPPM): condition of use must be defined (Vpp – rising and falling time etc)
• Based on the architecture of the final system (need information on place and type of amplification, receiver information etc.)
• Bit Error Rate, eye diagram analysis
• Final system validation assistance : at CPPM with 80  and the full system (true transmitter, receiver) (summer 2013)
• Study of the possibility to use ‘Antares’ cable for nodes 4 to 6 (summer 2013)
