ECL-200 is a Manual Tunable LD Light Source Unit developed for multi light source on the basis
of our technologies accumulated in our external cavity type semiconductor laser light source
series.
ECL-200 is a wavelength stable light source wherein a light grid filter arranged inside of light
source is wavelength standard type. High precision temperature control of the light grid filter to
be the wavelength standard has realized highly stable wavelength and wavelength repeatability.
Up to eight channels of ECL-200 may be loaded on multi channel light source power source rack
MLS-8000, which enables you to use ECL-200 as a light source to evaluate WDM
communication and so forth.

Principle of Operation
FIG.1 Structure diagram of ECL-200
FIG.1 shows the structure of ECL-200.
To the semiconductor laser (LD), employed is a Fabry-Perot type LD whose one end surface is
coated by AR (anti reflection). In the LD block, an inside lens and output lens in an external
cavity to configure an external cavity, and an isolator to prevent return light from the outside are
arranged in a temperature controlled chamber (temperature controlled chamber 1), and
temperature control is carried out by a Peltier element in a high precious manner.
The light injected from AR coated surface of LD is collimated by the external cavity inside lens,
and its wavelength is selected by the optical band path filter (OBPF) and optical grid filter (OGF),
and reflected by the external cavity mirror, and led from the AR coated surface to LD by the
external cavity inside lens once again. When current is supplied into LD and the gain inside of LD
becomes sufficient, laser oscillation is carried out by the external cavity.
The oscillation wavelength of ECL-200 is controlled by OBPF and OGF. Rough adjustment of
oscillation wavelength may be carried out by tuning wavelength of OBPF at every OGF grid
interval (about 100 GHz) (by the manual rotating table). And fine adjustment of the transmission
wavelength may be made by adjusting the position of the wavelength grid through controlling the
environmental temperature of OGF arranged on the temperature controlled chamber
(temperature controlled chamber 2). The light injected from the external cavity laser goes
through 2-step isolator that can restrict the return light by 60 dB and bounded to the optical fiber.
The optical fiber is diagonally processed so as to prevent interferrence in fiber, and only
connector for output employs SPC. (FC-APC connector, and polarization maintaining fiber
output are available as options.) The monitor PD behind the external cavity mirror is used as
monitor for optical output.
