Description of Model 
Tunable laser source with 2 outputs covers both C and L Band.
  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 built-in optical attenuator (standard).
• Wavelength Range: 1510 to 1640 nm
• Wavelength resolution: 0.1 pm, 12.5 MHz at 1550 nm
• Tuning Speed: 400 ms/600 ms/2.8 s (typ. For a 1/10/100 nm step)
• Absolute wavelength accuracy: ±15 pm
• Relative wavelength accuracy: ±7 pm, typ. ±3 pm
• Wavelength repeatability: ±1 pm, typ. ±0.5 pm
• Wavelength stability: <= ±1 pm (typ. 24 hrs at constant temp.)
• Output 1 Power: >= -5 dBm peak typ.
• Output 1 Min. Power: -13 dBm
• Output 2 Power: >= +4 dBm peak typ.
• Output 2 Min. Power: -5 dBm (-60 dBm in attenuation mode)
