The M8199B is an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) which brings optical research to the next level. With analog bandwidth exceeding 80 GHz and sampling rate up to 256 GSa/s, it provides research engineers the speed, bandwidth, precision, and flexibility to meet the challenges of next-generation applications, allowing data transmission of >400 Gb/s/lane in intensity-modulation/direct-detect (IM/DD) and of >1.6 Tbit/s/carrier in coherent optical communications.

At ECOC, the M8199B AWG was involved in two breakthrough records: the highest symbol rate of 260 GBaud ever achieved in coherent optical transmissions and the highest net bitrate of >2 Tbit/s/carrier ever transmitted over standard single-mode fiber.
