•New 840-nm version•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

Product Tutorial:Building a Swept-Wavelength System.

The TLB-6600 lasers deliver it all. They com-bine 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 test- ing, these lasers are available with a variety of options so you can build the system you need. So that you get true real-time measurementcapabilities, the lasers offer 2,000-nm/s mode-hop-free tuning over 110 nm. For measurements requiring high dynamic range, such as the char- acterization of fiber-Bragg gratings, choose the low-noise version. It offers greater than 70-dBASE 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, two wavelength-reference options are available (<1 pm or <5 pm). For polarization control, choose the polarization con-troller for setting up to six states-of-polarization.Avariable optical attenuator option is also avail- able for up to 20-dB adjustment in optical out- put power. These options are available for the SMversion 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, USBand GPIB(IEEE 488), you can easily interface to your computer to set and monitor parameters.
