Overview:
Santec’s new TSL-570 takes full advantage of Santec’s 33 years of experience in the manufacture of tunable lasers. TSL-570 is a high-performance tunable laser with a wide tuning range and an output that combines high power and high signal-to-noise ratio. It adopts a new optical cavity design with precise speed control up to 200 nm/s and sub-picimeter resolution and accuracy.
Tunable lasers are widely used in photonics; used in optical component characterization, photonic integrated circuit testing, quantum photonics, spectroscopy, and sensors.
Santec's TSL-570 is a high specification, full-featured instrument suitable for all applications. It has an easy-to-use touch screen display and Ethernet, GPIB and USB interfaces for remote control. The Wake-on-LAN (WoL) function facilitates remote installation. Models can cover 1240 to 1640 nm and output power up to 20 mW.
The new sealed laser cavity is mode-hop-free and provides stable output at every wavelength. It has 0.1 pm resolution, sub pm accuracy and market-leading 90 dB/0.1 nm ultra-low level spontaneous source emission. TSL-570 is seamlessly integrated with Santec’s optical power meters (MPM series), optical switches (OSU series) and polarization controllers (PCU series) to create benchmarks and cross-references for wavelength-dependent loss (WDL) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL). Key solution measurement (scanning test system).
