TDECQ (Transmitter and Dispersion Eye Closure for Quaternary) Test
The TDECQ measurement is based on two vertical histograms on the eye diagram. Ideally, these histograms are centered at 0.45 UI and 0.55 UI, maintaining a 0.1 UI separation between them. Each histogram window has a width of 0.04 UI and covers all modulation levels of the eye diagram. The minimum TDECQ value is obtained by precisely adjusting the timing position of the histogram pair.The figure illustrates the TDECQ measurement window.

OMA Test
OMA (Outer Optical Modulation Amplitude) refers to the difference between the optical power levels P₃ and P₀, measured at the center of two UIs in a specified test pattern which with 7 consecutive "3"s and 6 consecutive "0"s. The relationship is:As shown in the figure, P₀ and P₃ represent the power levels in the definition of Outer OMA/ER.

[1]The optical port bandwidth is defined as the 3 dB optical power drop point which corresponds to -3dBo bandwidth(-3 dBo = -6 dBe).
[2]The ±10 nm value represents the wavelength deviation of the optical source.
[3]This parameter does not characterize the instrument's performance specification. It represents the difference between the sampling oscilloscope calculated results and the theoretical values when testing with an ideal signal. In practical test scenarios, measurement consistency is related to actual signal quality.
[4]This value is obtained through a destructive test, where input optical power is gradually increased in 0.1 dBm steps. In real applications, due to the uncertainty of the optical source, do not keep the input optical power at +5 dBm or higher for a long time. It may cause damage or performance degradation.
[5] Sensitivity is not used as an instrument specification. It is calculated from the noise characteristic value. It represents the optical power value at which mask test template margins approaching 0% under ideal eye diagram and impacted only by the oscilloscope floor noise. In practical test scenarios, the minimal measurable power is also related to the quality of signal under test.
[6]There are variations between different types of signals (PAM4 data rates, single-mode).
