The Keysight 81608A tunable laser module offers a peak output power of more than +12 dBm, at least 75 dB/nm above its spontaneous emission level. It features a typical wavelength repeatability of ±1.5 pm at two-way sweeps up to 200 nm/s. The laser’s balance of features, performance and price makes it suitable for both coherent transmission experiments and cost-effective manufacturing-floor component testing.
