KEYSIGHT 81606A
The Keysight 81606A Tunable Laser Source is the top line module for the . It has been designed to reach a new accuracy level and to increase test efficiency by enabling faster swept-wavelength tests with lower cost of ownership. This accelerates the automated adjustment of wavelength-selective devices with sub-picometer repeatability, best-in-class accuracy and the new two-way sweep mode at up to 200 nm/s speed. The 81606A Tunable Laser Source helps optical component developers, designers and manufacturers test more devices per hour and improves test margins with significantly enhanced functionality over the , the industry standard for more than a decade.
Features and specifications of the Keysight 81606A Tunable Laser includes:
- 15 dB more dynamic range through high signal power at lowest spontaneous emission, enabled by the new cavity and laser module design,
- A 4-fold improvement in absolute accuracy with increased real-time tracking speed and resolution, enabled by the novel wavelength reference unit,
- Sweeps at up to 200 nm/s without impacting the specified dynamic accuracy, enabled by enhanced feedback controls and drive mechanics.
