Description
The Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family comprises the most versatile and high performance tunable laser sources on the market. It allows WDM developers and manufacturers to dramatically reduce test cost, and increase profits by quick return-on-investment. The Agilent 81600B family enables the most precise characterization of advanced optical components with its fast and accurate sweep across the entire wavelength range and specified accuracy during the sweep. Signal output with low spontaneous emission (SSE) permits measurement of filters with highest dynamic range.

Features:
  • High optical output power up to + 9 dBm
  • Highest measurement range through low spontaneous source emission (low SSE), Signal to SSE Ratio >70 dB/nm
  • Variable sweep speed: 80nm/s
  • Wide tuning range units cover all transmission bands: 1260nm-1640nm
  • Built-in high performance 60dB attenuator
  • Built-in wavemeter with excellent wavelength-accuracy +/-3.6pm
  • Coherence Control
  • External wavelength locking
Benefits
  • The high optical output power enables you to split the optical signal among different components and test stations
  • The high optical output power with built-in attenuator enables you to stimulate and characterize optical amplifiers and receivers.
  • The variable sweep speed enables you to adapt the source to your changing test needs and measurement certainties.
  • Wide tuning range enables characterization of broadband components with one instrument and one connection.
  • The built-in attenuator and wavemeter reduces number of instruments and optical connectors, which results in less measurement uncertainties.
  • The built-in coherence control unit reduces interference effects caused by the DUT design or DUT termination.
  • The external wavelength locking capability allows easy open and closed loop control of precision wavelength tuning by an analogue input signal generated by any means, e.g. locking the laser to an absorption cell.
