The Agilent-Hp 8166xA Distributed Feedback Laser Sources are part ofthe Agilent Lightwave Solution Platform, and best suited for amplifiertest and DWDM system test applications. Agilent covers the C- and L-Bandwith its family of Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser source modules81662A (10dBm) and 81663A (13dBm).
Benefits:
- High optical output power offers the flexibility in test environmentand enables test and characterization of nonlinear effects which thecustomer could not do so far.
- The precise tunability around IT-grid center wavelength givesyou the flexibility to match test setups to latest requirements of theDWDM-system. The fine-tuning allows to shift the center wavelength fromone DWDM transmission channel to the adjacent channel in dense WDMsystems.
- The coherence control allows to change the linewidth of thelaser to avoid problems with stimulated Brillioun scattering, andeffects generated by unwanted cavities.
- The built-in digital modulation enables applications like time-domain extinction testing of EDFA noise figure.
- The built-in isolator ensures laser stability, even when reflections are present in the optical path.
