Tunable Laser Source Module
Keysight's has a wide range of tunable laser sources to fit your needs for various applications. In addition to the proven 81600B tunable laser source family, Keysight recently introduced a new family of tunable laser sources - the 8160xx family. The 8160xx tunable laser sources offer the full wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1650 nm with no wavelength gaps. All 8160xx tunable laser sources are modules for the Keysight 8164B lightwave measurement system mainframe. This provides test instrumentation with maximum flexibility. Investing in the Keysight 8160xx family of tunable laser sources 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).

Compact Tunable Laser Module
81950A
-
The Keysight Technologies 81950A compact tunable laser source is step-tunable for setting channel frequencies within any grid in the C- or L-band. With high output power up to +15 dBm, narrow linewidth of 100 kHz, and offset grid fine-tuning capability, the 81950A is a universal source for realistic loading of the latest transmission systems. It is available with C-band or L-band wavelength coverage. The 81950A can reach any wavelength point within its specified wavelength range just like all other Keysight tunable lasers. In this mode, code compatibility with existing test setups based on Keysight's range of full-size and compact tunable lasers is a great asset. In system loading applications, it may be preferable to grid-tune the laser like system transmitters, simply by changing the channel index. The channel grid is adjustable to standard ITU-T grid spacing like 50 GHz, and to arbitrary grids. Likewise, the zero frequency (base channel) of the chosen grid is adjustable. A 12 GHz fine-tuning range allows de-tuning the frequency.

Tunable Laser Source, High Power And Lowest SSE, Top Line
N7776C
Laser Source
The new Keysight N7776C top line tunable laser source is designed to reach best-in-class accuracy in static and swept operation for outstanding test efficiency. Two-way sweeps up to 200 nm/s speed with sub-picometer repeatability and without impacting the specified dynamic accuracy accelerate wavelength-dependent alignment processes and the automated calibration of wavelength-selective devices. Shorter time to testing and faster swept-wavelength tests help reduce test cost per device, improve test margins and lower the cost of ownership.

Step-Tunable Laser Source, High Power and Low SSE, Basic Line
81609A
Laser Source
The new Keysight 8160xA tunable laser sources are based on a common cavity and laser module design. They share a narrow line width and a low spontaneous emission level that, in combination with the Keysight N774xA multiport power meters, or the Keysight 816xxx power meter modules, enables excellent spectral loss measurement ranges in both stop band and pass band. A built-in gas cell and self-adjustment capabilities ensure excellent long-term stability to minimize cost of ownership. Within the 8160xA family, the value and basic line models offer additional price-performance options based on output power, tuning modes and speed, wavelength accuracy and repeatability.
