Tunable Laser Sources
C-band tunable laser source in bench top or rack mount, with continuous tuning, high output power and front panel or remote control. Output is on single mode polarization maintaining fiber.
Technical overview
The source tunes 1525-1568 nm with 1 pm wavelength resolution, absolute wavelength accuracy inside plus/minus 5 pm and step sizes of 1 to 40 pm at under 2 ms per step. Factory-set output power is at least +13 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution and absolute power accuracy inside plus/minus 0.08 dB. Side-mode suppression is at least 40 dBc, intrinsic linewidth under 5 MHz, and polarization extinction ratio above 20 dB. A BNC trigger can be configured as an output or an input.
Features
- Wide Wavelength Range
- Continuous Tuning
