Luna’s PHOENIXTM Tunable Laser has the best
wavelength precision and resolution available
combined with a highly linear wavelength sweep.
KEY FEATURES AND PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
• Full C-band tunability
• Smooth, linear scans
• Narrow linewidth, low noise
• Wavelength calibration in seconds
• Integrated wavelength and power monitors
• External triggering
• 2 optical detectors and data acquisition channels
• Industry leading wavelength accuracy and resolution
Luna’s PHOENIXTM 1400 Benchtop Tunable Laser
incorporates Luna’s PHOENIX
TM
tunable laser and driver in a benchtop 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
Intuitive graphical user interface

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 For 24 hr period within ± 5 C after laser calibration. 4 Over full wavelength range at 10 nm/s. 5 At 10 mW tuning at 10 nm/s over full wavelength range. 6 Measured with laser set to 1540 nm with10 mW output power. 7 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.
8 Measured with optical spectrum analyzer set at 1 nm resolution bandwidth.
