Description
High-performance tunable laser source
On the production floor, time is money. You need fast, cost-effective test instruments that maximize your production throughput. The IQS-2600B is ideal for complete characterization of fiber-optic filters, multiplexers and other dense WDM components. They are the logical choice for instrumentation calibration and for measuring wavelength-dependent gain, noise contribution and the saturation properties of EDFAs.
Second generation specifications and design
Greater than 100 nm tuning range
This second-generation tunable erbium-doped fiber laser delivers exacting wavelength accuracy for long periods of use. Wavelength can now be tuned over a wide range—1510 nm to 1612 nm. Output power is greater than 0 dBm over the critical 1515 nm to 1610 nm range.
Designed around your testing needs
The tunable laser source integrates both a monitor output port and a main output port. The monitor port, which is essentially a 5 % tap from the laser cavity, is useful for real-time wavelength monitoring in tests where optimum wavelength accuracy plays a major role. In addition, the main output is regulated in output power and can be attenuated over a 10 dB range.
The triggering capability simplifies external synchronization with other instruments such as optical spectrum analyzers, power meters or simple oscilloscopes. All this in a two-slot plug-in module. The modular IQS-2600B configuration operates within the IQS-600 test platform.
