The Anritsu MG9637A Tunable Laser Source features excellent wavelength repeatability achieved by self calibration, improved
reliability using a new external cavity technology. The MG9637A utilizes an external optical automatic power control (APC) module, the MG9637A has a Lithium Niobate modulator in the APC section to provide excellent output power stability and S/N ratio.
The laser source is ideal for evaluating the wavelength loss characteristics and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of optical devices (couplers, filters, etc.), as well as the gain and noise figure of optical fiber amplifiers and PMD used in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system.
