Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a standard pattern for use in testing an optical transmitter, and modifying the standard pattern to create a modified pattern. The modified pattern is provided to the optical transmitter. The method also includes testing the optical transmitter, wherein testing the optical transmitter include implementing the modified pattern and obtaining at least one measurement after implementing the modified pattern.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining a standard pattern for use in testing an optical transmitter;
- modifying the standard pattern to create a modified pattern;
- providing the modified pattern to the optical transmitter;
- and
- testing the optical transmitter, wherein testing the optical transmitter includes implementing the modified pattern and obtaining at least one measurement after implementing the modified pattern.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more network processor units to communicate with devices in a network;
- and
- a processor coupled to the one or more network processor units and configured to perform:
- obtaining a standard pattern for use in testing an optical transmitter;
- modifying the standard pattern to create a modified pattern;
- providing the modified pattern to the optical transmitter;
- and
- testing the optical transmitter, wherein testing the optical transmitter includes implementing the modified pattern and obtaining at least one measurement after implementing the modified pattern.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- obtaining a standard pattern for use in testing an optical transmitter;
- modifying the standard pattern to create a modified pattern;
- providing the modified pattern to the optical transmitter;
- and
- testing the optical transmitter, wherein testing the optical transmitter includes implementing the modified pattern and obtaining at least one measurement after implementing the modified pattern.
