Application Examples
  • Optical component characterization
  • Fiber optic transmission testing
  • Fiber optic sensors
  • Optical spectroscopy
  • Photonic material characterization
1) Insertion Loss Measurement
The TSL-510 can be used as a conventional step-and-measure tunable laser for characterization of optical fiber, components or materials. The USB and GPIB interfaces allow for fully automatic operation.
2) Components Characterization using Swept Wavelength Function
The TSL-510 can be used in conjunction with component analysers which synchronize with the rapid sweep function of the TSL-510. This enables complete characterization over the full tuning range of the laser in only a few seconds.


Typical Output Charactistics

Type A (standard)/Type C (high accuracy option)
   >+10dBm peak power
   >+7dBm over full tuning range

Type B (high SNR option)
   >0dBm peak power
   >-2dBm over full tuning range


High SNR option (Type B)
The optical design of this type focuses to gain better signal to noise ratio. It achieves over 65dB STSSE and over 70dB SSSE. It is essential for measuring large dynamic range of wavelength profile without affected by noise of the light source.



Wavelength profile is measured without affected by noise of the light source.
