Introduction

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family offers the full wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1640 nm with no wavelength gaps. This provides test instrumentation with maximum flexibility.

Investing in the Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family can realize the cost efficiency and performance required to test components for coarse and dense wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM, DWDM) and passive optical networks (PON).

Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family

The Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family consists of seven modules that fit into the bottom slot of the Keysight 8164B Lightwave Solution Mainframe.

The 81600B Option 200 and 201 Allband Tunable Laser Sources are the flagship models, featuring the widest tuning range of 200 nm, respectively 185 nm, with a single laser and a 70 dB/nm signal-to-source spontaneous emission ratio (signal-to-SSE ratio). The excellent low-SSE performance typically allows crosstalk measurements of better than 70 dB/nm signal-to-source spontaneous emission ratio (signal-to-SSE ratio). This and the high signal power permit measurements of wavelength isolation to 100 dB, most often limited by power meter sensitivity.

Full wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1640 nm

The Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family offers the full wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1640 nm with no wavelength gaps. The N7700A software suite has a measurement engine for IL and PDL that can combine the sweeps of up to 3 tunable laser wavelength ranges. Such a setup can be used for testing CWDM multiplexers.

O-band models for the latest applications

The 81600B options 130 and 132 cover the wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1375 nm for an important set of applications. With the PMF output fiber, these are a good match for testing and developing components with silicon photonics technology. And especially with lowSSE, the Option 130 is the best tool for testing wavelength filters for LR4 components.

Integrated solutions for swept-wavelength spectral measurements

The 81600B is supported with the N7700A software suite for spectral measurements of insertion loss, polarization dependent loss and dispersion in combination with power meters and polarization instruments. These provide optimal sweptwavelength accuracy dynamic range. See the N7700A brochure for details.

Low SSE output port for high dynamic range

The 81600B option 201, 200, 160, 150, 140 and 130 Tunable Laser Sources are equipped with two optical outputs.

The low-SSE output port of the dual-output models delivers a signal with ultra-low source spontaneous emission. It enables accurate crosstalk measurement of DWDM, CWDM and PON wavelength filtering components by producing light only at the desired wavelength.

The second output port provides high optical power, adjustable over a power range of more than 60 dB via a built-in optical attenuator.

High power output for multipurpose component tests

The Keysight 81600B Options 142 and 132 provide one output port with high stimulus power for applications where the SSE level is not critical.

The 81600B Option 142 can also be equipped with a built-in optical attenuator, so providing an adjustable power range of 60 dB.

Built-in wavelength meter for optimum tuning precision

The Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family includes a built-in real time wavelength meter which realizes an absolute wavelength accuracy of ± 10 pm (typical ± 3.6 pm) as a standalone instrument.

Specied performance in the

continuous sweep mode

As manufacturing yield expectations becomes more and more stringent, it is important that all instruments deliver optimum performance under all measurement conditions.

The Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family can sweep as fast as 80 nm/s with specified accuracy during the sweep.

Realize the cost efciency and performance benets in

WDM component tests

The testing of optical filters is based on a generic principle, namely the stimulus-response test. The stateof-the-art approach is a wavelengthresolved stimulus-response measurement utilizing a tunable laser source that is capable of fast and precise sweeps across the entire wavelength range, and optical power meters.

For DWDM components, high wavelength accuracy and dynamic range are critical. For CWDM and PON components, a wide wavelength range, dynamic range and tight costing are key targets. If the investment in the test solution can be shared among many different type of filters, the contribution to each individual filter is minimized. In this way, cost targets for CWDM and PON components can be met without sacrificing accuracy.

Investing in the Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family can realize both the cost efficiency and performance benefits required.

Polarization maintaining ber for the test of integrated optical devices

The 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family is ideal for characterizing integrated optical devices. Its PMF output ports provide a well-defined state of polarization to ensure constant measurement conditions for waveguide devices. A PMF cable easily connects to an external optical modulator.
