TLS Modules with Swept Measurements

Show Description

Introduction

 

This technical note describes the parameters given in the specifications of the TLS that are pertinent to dynamic (that is, swept measurements). In the past, these parameters were only guaranteed under static conditions, but they are now guaranteed for various sweep speeds as an add-on specification. This technical overview presents experimental test results obtained using a B-series TLS module to demonstrate the reliability of the test setup, and introduce the features and functionality available.

 

General Information

 

One of the important characteristics of a tunable laser source (TLS) is its sweep speed. With the introduction of Keysight Technologies, Inc. B-series TLS modules, our portfolio increased its maximum sweep speed to 80nm/s over the wavelength ranges which customers require, including the O-, E-, S-, C-, and L- bands.
