Description
The Agilent 81940A Compact Tunable Laser Source is a high-performance instrument made for testing optical devices and components. It offers a wide tuning range of 110 nm in the C+L band (1520 nm to 1630 nm). This feature allows you to characterize devices across a broad spectrum. With its high output power, it reduces the need for external amplifiers, making it a cost-effective solution. The built-in wavemeter ensures accurate wavelength measurement, while the coherence control feature minimizes unwanted effects. This versatile source is ideal for applications in single channel and DWDM testing.
