PXI
Laser 1000 Series
The Laser 1000 Series PXIe module is a
Continuous Wave (CW), tunable laser source
offering high-power output, narrow 100kHz
linewidth and 0.01pm resolution tunability.
With seamless PXI integration, it can be
easily integrated into new or existing PXI
test setups. Save space, lower your costs
and improve testing efficiency while
delivering reliable and repeatable results
in production or research environments.
Features
1, 2 or 4 lasers per single-slot module
Achieve high channel density with up to
68 channels in an 18-slot PXI chassis.
Full tunability across C band or L band
Ideal for telecommunications
applications; full coverage of DWDM
channels.
Smarter calibration for enhanced power
uniformity
Minimise inter-channel power variance
with enhanced power uniformity between
channels.
0.01pm tuning resolution
Tune to anywhere within C or L band with
a high 0.01 pm tuning resolution.
Narrow 100kHz linewidth, up to 16.5 dBm
of power
High stability 100kHz linewidth makes it
an ideal candidate for some of the most
demanding applications, such as
coherently modulated high-speed
communications.
Seamless PXI integration
Take advantage of PXI’s integrated
triggering and synchronization
capabilities across electrical and
optical instruments.
Additional Details
Optional Whisper Mode
The Laser 1000 Series comes with
optional whisper mode. This feature
enables the user to temporarily disable
the laser control frequency dither,
which is useful for applications that
require the narrowest linewidth.
All of our tunable lasers adhere to the
OIF standard Micro Integrable Tunable
Laser Assemblies (μITLA) Implementation
Agreement and utilise the standard
dithering method for frequency
stability.
