The Agilent 81960A compact tunable laser module has faster sweep speeds and repetition rates, combined with the dynamic accuracy specifications needed for DWDM component measurements. Dynamically specified sweeps in both directions enhance the repetition rate even further for real-time use in adjustment and calibration procedures. The Agilent 81960A’s dynamic wavelength accuracy will satisfy the test needs for many DWDM components. The source to spontaneous noise ratio is sufficient to qualify the isolation of many filter devices. Use existing customized programs with the compatibility to the 816x Plug&Play driver, the N4150A Photonic Foundation Library, and to the SCPI command set of the current 8194xA and 8198xA tunable laser modules.
