This unit operates in the 1550nm window.
A built in side mode filter ensures that a true single mode laser line is generated for every wavelength point eliminating any possible multimoding.
A 0.001nm resolution also makes this unit valuable for heterodyne measurements and coherent applications.
This unit provide independent control of output power and wavelength.
Agilent / HP 8168A Key Points:
