• External triggering
• 2 optical detectors and data acquisition channels
• Industry leading wavelength accuracy and resolution
• USB interface and full complement of software drivers
Luna’s PHOENIXTM 1200 Tunable Laser Module
incorporates Luna’s PHOENIX
TM
tunable laser and driver in a compact package. The laser is a miniaturized, tunable external cavity laser driven by a circuit designed for low noise and highly linear swept performance appropriate for a variety of fiber optic test, measurement and sensing applications. Application software gives the user simple but effective control of the laser. It also provides for monitoring of wavelength, power and two user accessible optical receivers.
APPLICATIONS
• DWDM component spectrum analysis
• Ideal source for OFDR systems
• Heterodyne measurements
• Bragg grating distributed sensing
• Near IR Spectroscopy

All measurements assume warm-up time of 1.5 hrs. 1 Determined by internal NIST-traceable gas cell reference. 2 Measured after wavelength auto-calibration. 3 Over full wavelength range at 10 nm/s. 4 At 10 mW tuning at 10 nm/s over full wavelength range. 5 Measured with laser set to 1540 nm with 10 mW output power. 6 Phase noise distribution full width at half maximum at center wavelength integrated over 1 ms. Measurements indicate that the
intrinsic laser linewidth (the limit at which the integration time goes to zero) is less than 100 kHz.
7 Measured with optical spectrum analyzer set at 1 nm resolution bandwidth.
