Feature

Good dynamic range

Our tunable laser guarantees an accurate measurement of optical devices with good dynamic range.

Low noise

Our tunable laser is best for noise figure (NF) measurement of the optical fiber amplifier (EDFA etc.). The excellent RIN characteristics ensures accurate measurement without affecting the characteristics of measuring object.
(RIN: Relative Intensity Noise)






Optical spectrum line-width

Spectrum line-width indicates the distribution of wavelength, and the narrower the spectrum line-width, the higher the wavelength isolation. Variation of the oscillation frequency affects the optical spectrum line-width.
* As for our tunable laser light source, a band pass filter or a grating filter is used in an optical wavelength variable mechanism, and it has capabilities of creating a high-level narrow optical spectrum line-width with excellent monochromatic and the high stability level over a short period of time.

Here is flash video.
* The spectrum is measured with heterodyning method, and it is double than real width. Therefore real width is half than indication width.
