OIDA Sponsored Webinar: Coherent Optical Test, Leveraging Switches to Reduce the Cost of Test
20 January 2021 11:00 - 12:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)The next VIAVI webinar in our ongoing coherent optical module test series will focus on the transition into manufacturing. Today, end customer pricing expectations are more aggressive than ever. Long-term pricing is expected from day one. But finding a window during the product lifecycle to refine test processes is less and less practical after launch. This simple fact means test engineers must be thinking about manufacturing challenges from the very early stages of NPI.
Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of an optical manufacturing test strategy are the many roles of optical switches. To help address these challenges, this webinar will review the following:
- Types of optical switches and selection criteria
- Implementations that drive increased capital utilization
- Methods to calculate ROI
- The impact of optical performance on the cost of test
