IEC EN 62150-6 Fiber Optic Active Components and Devices - Test and Measurement Procedures - Part 6: Universal Mezzanine Boards for Testing and Measurement of Photonic Devices

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62150-6 testing. IEC EN 62150-6 specifies a general mezzanine system to support testing and measurement of devices based on micro-optical and micro-photonic technologies, including but not limited to photonic integrated circuit (PIC) devices.

IEC EN 62150-6 Fiber Optic Active Components and Devices - Test and Measurement Procedures - Part 6: Universal Mezzanine Boards for Testing and Measurement of Photonic Devices

This standard defines a generic electro-optical mezzanine board for the test and measurement of micro-optical and micro-photonic devices, including but not limited to transceivers, switches, sensors, and a wide variety of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technologies. The size and shape of the card allows two mezzanine cards to be mounted side-by-side on a larger Eurocard form factor female card that can itself be inserted into and powered by a backplane system. Alternatively, each mezzanine board can be operated alone, for example, on a lab bench powered by a bench source.

The purpose of this generic mezzanine concept is to allow similar comparative characterization of the devices under test (DUTs) relative to each other and to measure the performance of DUTs in larger test environments relevant to their intended application, such as data. The mezzanine PCB will be designed to accommodate very high speed electronic signals and high speed electronic signal interface, enabling external test equipment such as test pattern generators, bit error rate testers and communication signal analyzers to operate the device under test (DUT).

This approach will be effective in accelerating commercial adoption of micro-photonic devices as they will provide a common benchmark for evaluating the actual performance of a DUT. For example, power consumption is an increasingly important indicator of value for optical micro transceivers in ICT systems; however, declared power consumption values ​​as interpreted by the developer generally do not reflect the actual power consumption of a device tested in operation. Therefore, the mezzanine card will include provision for a smaller detachable power distribution and sensor mezzanine card, allowing multiple adjustable voltages to be supplied to the device under test and real-time current or power measurement for each voltage.
