Output Characteristics
SANTEC TUNABLE LASERS
The TSL-510 provides market-leading performance in a
compact, easy to use package. The laser can perform
continuous, mode-hop-free sweeps over its full 120nm tuning
range with the highest output power of comparable lasers on
the market today. Low noise and excellent stability are other
notable features.
The model range has four separate versions. Type B has
additional optics to lower the optical ASE noise and boasts a
very high signal to noise ratio (SNR) of over 65dB. This is
particularly important for characterization of high isolation
DWDM filters. Type C includes a high accuracy wavelength
meter which increases the wavelength accuracy to better
than 5pm. Type D combines the high SNR with the high
wavelength accuracy. All models have additional features
such as fine tuning and coherence control. GPIB and USB
interfaces with the industry standard SCPI command set
allows full remote control and measurement automation.
