DFB Lasers for C- and L-Bands
The Agilent 81662A and 81663A DFB laser modules operate at a
wavelength channel on the ITU grid within the C and L-bands. The
modules can
be fine tuned by ±850 pm around this ITU channel. All modules are
calibrated for constant power and wavelength to avoid drift after
attenuating or detuning.
High Output Power
The Agilent 81662A modules supply +10 dBm output power where
as the 81663A modules offer +13 dBm output power to overcome
power penalties given in today’s test setups. Their excellent power and
wavelength stability is key for accurate testing of optical amplifiers,
such as, EDFA, TDFA, SOA and Raman.
Applications

Testing Optical Amplifiers
A set of DFB lasers is the ideal test load for modern optical amplifiers
due to their excellent stability and price versus performance ratio.
These sources address the ever increasing demand for higher stimulus
power and support the trend towards higher power amplifiers.
Test of Integrated Zero Loss Devices
The migration of amplification to passive components producing,
integrated zero loss devices creates new challenges for test equipment.
The 81662A and 81663A DFB lasers’ standard option is a PMF fiber
output, bringing polarization issues under control. The DFB laser sources
support the trend of waveguide based devices and integrated optics.
DFB Laser Modules for High Channel Count DWDM
Systems
DFB laser modules are best suited to address the test requirements of
today’s DWDM transmission systems. Their fine tuning capability provides
flexibility, as is sometimes desired by DWDM submarine systems, and
reduced costs for spare grids. The modularity of the lightwave solution
platform allows the user to easily match his test setups with the latest
requirements of DWDM systems. Most importantly it leaves room for
future expansions and refinements.
PnP Software Drivers for Fast Process Automation
The powerful and easy to use Plug&Play drivers allow fast implementation
of complex measurement control programs.
