  • High optical output power: +13 dBm
  • Wavelength Stability: +/- 0.002nm
  • Fine-tuning range: +/- 850pm
  • Power stability: 0.003dB
  • Built-in coherence control
  • Built-in digital modulation
  • Built-in isolator

Benefits:

  • High optical output power offers the flexibility in test environment and enables test and characterization of nonlinear effects which the customer could not do so far.
  • The precise tunability around IT-grid center wavelength gives you the flexibility to match test setups to latest requirements of the DWDM-system. The fine-tuning allows to shift the center wavelength from one DWDM transmission channel to the adjacent channel in dense WDM systems.
  • The coherence control allows to change the linewidth of the laser to avoid problems with stimulated Brillioun scattering, and effects generated by unwanted cavities.
  • The built-in digital modulation enables applications like time-domain extinction testing of EDFA noise figure.
  • The built-in isolator ensures laser stability, even when reflections are present in the optical path.
