81940A Agilent Optical Generator

 Additional Features:

• High optical output power: +13 dBm
• Wide tuning range: 1520nm-1630nm
• Built-in wavemeter for excellent accuracy: +/-20pm
• Built-in coherence control
• Stimulated Brillioun scattering suppression
• Provides the stimulus power needed to test today's optical amplifiers, which reduces the need to add booster amplifiers.
• The wide tuning range of 110nm allows characterization of the DUTs in adjacent wavelength bands C+L with one sweep.
• The built-in wavemeter eliminates the need for external wavelength monitoring, which reduces measurement uncertainties.
• The built-in coherence control feature avoids problems with stimulated Brillioun Scattering (SBS) and interference effects generated by unwanted cavities
• Test non-linear effects in fibers and transmission links

Keysight Agilent HP's 81940A high power compact tunable lasers enables optical device characterization at high power levels and measurement of nonlinear effects. The Keysight Agilent HP 81940A improves the testing of all types of optical amplifiers and other active components as well as broadband passive optical components.
