Agilent / HP 81662A
Low Power DFB Laser Source
Description
This DFB laser source low power is suited for optical amplifier test and DWDM system test applications.
This unit fits in 8163A, 8164A and 8166A mainframe
Key Points
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.
