Ultrafast 2,000-nm/s tuning enables true real-time measurements
Ultrawide 110-nm mode-hop-free tuning
>70-dB ASE low-noise version for high-dynamic-range test and measurement
Multiple integrated options available
The TLB-6600 Venturi Swept-Wavelength lasers deliver it all. They combine the best in tunability—ultrafast, ultrawide, and mode hop-free—with low noise, high accuracy and repeatability. Because the lasers are based on our award-winning* design, they are extremely dependable with OEM-proven 24/7 reliability (over 100-million cycles tested without failure). Ideal for fiber sensing, spectroscopy, laser seeding, metrology and fiber-optics testing, these lasers are available with a variety of options so you can build the system you need.
So that you get true real-time measurement capabilities, the lasers offer 2,000-nm/s mode-hop-free tuning over 110 nm. For measurements requiring high dynamic range, such as the characterization of fiber-Bragg gratings, choose the low-noise version. It offers greater than 70-dB ASE suppression and an integrated dynamic range of greater than 55 dB. For applications requiring more power, choose the high-power version. With greater than 8 dBm or 6 mW of output power over the entire tuning range, use these lasers to test multiple devices, or multiple outputs of a single device simultaneously.
Available with a variety of integrated options, the TLB-6600 is a flexible system configured for your specific needs. For exceptional absolute wavelength accuracy, a precision wavelength reference option is available (<1 pm). Choose the polarization controller for setting up to six states-of-polarization. A variable optical attenuator option is also available for up to 20-dB adjustment in optical output power. These options are available for the SM version only.
To simplify operation, we’ve designed the TLB-6600 with an easy-to-use color touchscreen, or you can use all-button operation if you prefer. With the latest in remote interfaces including Ethernet, USB and GPIB (IEEE 488), you can easily interface to your computer to set and monitor parameters.
