New Swept Laser From Quantifi
Quantifi Photonics has debuted its Laser 2000 Series swept tuneable laser at Photonics West 2023, which can be operated as a step- tuned, swept-wavelength, or fixed-wavelength CW laser source. The Laser 2000 Series uses a high-quality grating paired with state-of-the-art micro-electromechanics for quick, voltage-controlled wavelength tuning and repeatability. It offers 0.01 dB power stability and a high-speed scan rate of 400 nm/s. With PXIe compatibility and built-in synchronisation trigger inputs and outputs, users can easily synchronise the laser sweep
with other measurement tools such as optical power meters, spectrum analysers, and oscilloscopes to quickly build flexible and scalable test systems that can be adapted over time to meet changing requirements. Quantifi says that many optical devices, waveguides, and photonic integrated circuits (PIC) must be characterised and tested for wavelength- dependent performance. The Laser 2000 Series can quickly scan the typical wavelength ranges utilised by DWDM and CWDM optical datacom and telecom transmission signals, or be set at specific wavelengths within that range.
