Product description
The Keysight 8164A Lightwave Measurement System is the ideal mainframe for test solutions of fast and accurate optical applications because it hosts one of Keysight high end tunable laser sources and up to 4 compact modules.
The Agilent 81480A and 81680A/82A/40A/42A Tunable Laser modules are back-loadable modules. To fit these modules into the Agilent 8164A mainframe see “How to Fit and Remove Modules” in the Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter, Agilent 8164A, Lightwave Measurement System, & Agilent 8166A Lightwave Multichannel SystemUser’s Guide.The Agilent 81480A and 81680A/82A/40A/42A Tunable Laser modules have a built-in wavelength control loop to ensure high wavelength accuracy. As these modules are all mode-hop free tunable with continuous output power, they qualify for the test of the most critical dense-Wavelength Division Multiplexer (dWDM) components.
The Agilent 81480A and Agilent 81640A/80A Tunable Laser modules are equipped with two optical outputs:
• Output 1, the Low SSE output, delivers a signal with ultra-low source spontaneous emission (SSE). It enables accurate crosstalk measurement of DWDM components with many channels at narrow spacing. You can characterize steep notch filters such as Fiber Bragg Gratings by using this output and a power sensor module.
• Output 2, the High Power output, delivers a signal with high optical power. You can adjust the signal by more than 60 dB by using the inbuilt optical attenuator.
