Ando AQ4321D
Tunable Laser Source 1520 to 1620nm
Description
The Ando AQ4321D Tunable Laser Source is specially designed for DWDM applications, especially for the evaluation of optical components and DWDM systems.
The AQ4321D tunable laser source provides wide wavelength tuning range with great accuracy (±10 pm at 1520 nm). High output power, high SMSR and stability are excellent for the complete characterization of optical components.
Wavelength calibration function is an absolute wavelength calibration function, using an internal gas cell absorption line it integrates into the AQ4321D TLS. This calibration function provides high-accuracy, reliable measurements on DWDM components and automatic wavelength calibration at set intervals.
High-speed synchronous sweep with wide dynamic range can be achieved by coupling the world-renowned Ando AQ6317B Optical Spectrum Analyzer.
The AQ4321D Tunable Laser Source can connect to Ando's AQ8423Z Optical Amplifier Analyzer via GP-IB. This testing system can accomplish automatic measurement of the optical amplifier.
