Description
14-dBm peak output power with high spectral purity: Laser exhibits a crystal-clear optical spectrum with a peak output power of 14 dBm. Optical cavity eliminates broadband source spontaneous emission (SSE) without any compromise on optical power. High spectral purity is maintained throughout the laser sweep through active mode-hop control, ensuring reliable and repeatable wavelength sweeps.
High-speed tunability: Can be configured with a bidirectional scanning speed of 200 nm/s. When speed is critical, the T500S ensures repeatable yet fast measurements. Otherwise, the laser can be set to slower scanning speeds (e.g., for legacy detection systems).
Step-by-step or continuously swept wavelength scans: Two user modes at hand, optimized for specific usage: TUNE or SWEEP. With TUNE, laser control ensures excellent linewidth at any wavelength or provides rapid “go-to” wavelength tuning. SWEEP performs high-speed mode-hop-free scans over the full wavelength range of the laser.
