T200S
The T200S laser provides essential wavelength scanning capabilities over the O-band or the C/L-band of telecommunication. The laser can perform scans at up to 200 nm/s, at a nominal power of 10 dBm across the wavelength range. It can also be operated as a tuned-wavelength laser operating with excellent linewidth specification.
T500S
Taking swept wavelength testing to the next level, the T500S ultra-fast laser offers an excellent wavelength coverage with 5 models covering the range from 1240 nm to 1680 nm. The laser can perform bidirectional scans at up to 200 nm/s with a peak output power of 14 dBm. Like the T200S, the T500S also exhibits excellent linewidth characteristics when operated at fixed wavelength.
T100
The T100, a modular stepped tunable laser on the OSICS platform, exhibits high spectral purity and yields the same spectral coverage as the T200S and T500S. It is key in setting up cost-effective test solutions when spectral quality is essential.
FTBx-2850
The FTBx-2850 is a µITLA-based laser that fits into the LTB-8 or LTB-12 platform as part of a lab-on-a-rack measurement solution that could include switches, attenuators or power meters.
Excellent wavelength coverage
For PIC and passive optical component testing, wavelength range is critical and needs to include all main telecom ranges.
The T200S, T500S and the OSICS T100 modules cover the O-band to the U-band range of telecommunication. The continuously tunable lasers cover 1240 nm to 1680 nm through three models, while the T100 lasers covers that range with 4 modules.
Testing high-speed photonic integrated circuits (PICs)
Integrated photonics can include complex optical components with high-contrast spectrum, such as ring resonators. To test such highly demanding optical devices, the T200S and T500S laser series can be jointly operated with the CTP10, EXFO’s component testing platform. The combined test solution provides spectral measurements such as insertion loss (IL), polarization-dependent loss (PDL) or return loss (RL) with high resolution and high accuracy.
The new tunable lasers are also compatible with the CT440, EXFO’s compact component tester operating at 100 nm/s.
