Product Description
The Agilent 81640A tunable laser source covers both C- and L – Band. It is specially designed for testing critical DWDM passive components. This Agilent “A” Tunable Laser Source has been replaced by 81640B but can be upgraded. The 81640A works in both DWDM bands (C- and L-Band). It has continuous sweep through full wavelength range, low source spontaneous emission output for high dynamic range, high power optical output for optical amplifier test, a built-in real-time wavelength meter and mode-hop free tuning over full wavelength range.
Specifications:
– Wavelength Range: 1510 to 1640 nm

– Connector Type: Panda-Type, Straight Contact
– Wavelength Accuracy: +/-0.015 nm
Additional Information
The Agilent Tunable Laser modules with their built-in wavelength control loop push the performance limits. As they are all mode-hop free tunable with continuous output power, they qualify for the test of the most critical DWDM components.
