Tunable Laser Source Module

Keysight's has a wide range of tunable laser sources to fit your needs for various applications. In addition to the proven 81600B tunable laser source family, Keysight recently introduced a new family of tunable laser sources - the 8160xx family. The 8160xx tunable laser sources offer the full wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1650 nm with no wavelength gaps. All 8160xx tunable laser sources are modules for the Keysight 8164B lightwave measurement system mainframe. This provides test instrumentation with maximum flexibility. Investing in the Keysight 8160xx family of tunable laser sources can realize the cost efficiency and performance required to test components for coarse and dense wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM, DWDM) and passive optical networks (PON).

Fixed Laser Source Module

Keysight Technologies

Keysight offers a broad choice of fixed laser sources, which are available as single-wavelength and dual-wavelength modules as part of the Keysight Lightwave Solution Platform. The Keysight 8165xA Fabry-Perot laser sources can be used in conjunction with optical power meter modules for insertion loss, optical return loss and PDL measurement of broadband components and fiber. The Keysight 81663A Distributed Feedback Laser Sources are best suited for amplifier test and WDM system test applications. Keysight covers PON and common WDM wavelengths with its 81663A Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser source modules. The precise tunability around ITU-grid center wavelength gives you the flexibility to match test setups to the latest requirements of the DWDM-system. The fine-tuning allows to shift the center wavelength from one DWDM transmission channel to the adjacent channel in dense WDM systems. The built-in isolator ensures highest laser stability, even when reflections are present in the optical path.

Tunable System Sources

Keysight Technologies

The Keysight N7711A and N7714A tunable lasers are single-port and four-port sources, available with C-band or L-band wavelength coverage. All models can reach any wavelength point within their specified wavelength in the C- and L-band range. The narrow linewidth and offset grid fine-tuning capability make them ideal sources for realistic loading of the latest transmission systems. In system loading applications, it may be preferable to grid-tune the lasers like system transmitters, simply by changing the channel index. The channel grid is adjustable to standard ITU-T grid spacing like 50 GHz, and to arbitrary grids. The Keysight N7711A and N7714A tunable lasers are available in a compact format with half-rack width and one rack-unit height. This format makes them the right choice for high channel-count system load applications.

Compact Tunable Laser Module

81950A - Keysight Technologies

The Keysight Technologies 81950A compact tunable laser source is step-tunable for setting channel frequencies within any grid in the C- or L-band. With high output power up to +15 dBm, narrow linewidth of 100 kHz, and offset grid fine-tuning capability, the 81950A is a universal source for realistic loading of the latest transmission systems. It is available with C-band or L-band wavelength coverage. The 81950A can reach any wavelength point within its specified wavelength range just like all other Keysight tunable lasers. In this mode, code compatibility with existing test setups based on Keysight's range of full-size and compact tunable lasers is a great asset. In system loading applications, it may be preferable to grid-tune the laser like system transmitters, simply by changing the channel index. The channel grid is adjustable to standard ITU-T grid spacing like 50 GHz, and to arbitrary grids. Likewise, the zero frequency (base channel) of the chosen grid is adjustable. A 12 GHz fine-tuning range allows de-tuning the frequency.

Tunable Laser Source, High Power And Lowest SSE, Top Line

N7776C - Keysight Technologies

The new Keysight N7776C top line tunable laser source is designed to reach best-in-class accuracy in static and swept operation for outstanding test efficiency. Two-way sweeps up to 200 nm/s speed with sub-picometer repeatability and without impacting the specified dynamic accuracy accelerate wavelength-dependent alignment processes and the automated calibration of wavelength-selective devices. Shorter time to testing and faster swept-wavelength tests help reduce test cost per device, improve test margins and lower the cost of ownership.
