Optical Communication Test Solution

800G Optical Module Automated Test System

The 800G optical module automated test system is designed for high-speed optical module validation and production testing. It integrates test software, instrument control, fixtures, product interfaces, barcode traceability and reporting into a maintainable automated test platform. The system can integrate optical power meters, BERTs, thermal equipment, power supplies, DMMs, DAQ, barcode scanners and MES interfaces according to customer test specifications.

Customer Challenges

  • High-speed optical module testing involves many test items and complex instrument coordination, making manual testing prone to missed steps and inconsistent data.
  • 400G/800G products have high interface density, requiring stable and maintainable fixture, cable and optical/electrical connections.
  • Production testing requires barcode binding, parameter logging, automatic judgment and traceable report output.
  • Product models and test specifications evolve over time, so the system needs strong configurability and extensibility.

Solution Approach

  • Break down the customer test specification into instrument control, data acquisition, limit judgment and exception handling logic.
  • Design fixtures and interfaces suitable for high-speed optical module testing to reduce insertion loss and wiring risk.
  • Develop automated test software for barcode binding, sequence execution, parameter logging, result judgment and report output.
  • Reserve interfaces for MES, databases, file servers or customer internal systems to meet production traceability requirements.
