Greater margin through excellent instrument performance: high bandwidth (50 GHz or 35 GHz) receivers, ultra-low residual jitter (< 50 fs typical); adjustable clock recovery peak and loop bandwidth
Flexible instrument configurations reduce development time. The instrument is equipped with integrated clock recovery (50 Mb/s to 32 Gb/s data rate), an integrated sensor, and a phase-matching cable. This cable is suitable for simple once-connected "no-trigger" operation
Accelerate analysis and reduce verification time with analysis tools such as jitter spectrum analysis and software clock recovery simulation
The Keysight 8160xA tunable laser sources are designed with a common cavity laser module. They share a narrow linewidth and low spontaneous emission level for excellent spectral loss measurement range in both the stopband and passband when used with the Keysight N774xA multi-port power meter or the Keysight 816xxx power meter module. The built-in gas chamber and self-adjustment features ensure excellent long-term stability to minimize cost of ownership. Within the 8160xA series, cost-effective models and base models provide additional cost-effective options in terms of output power, tuning mode and speed, wavelength accuracy, and repeatability.
The 81608A cost-effective tunable laser source module delivers peak output power in excess of +12 dBm, at least 75 dB/nm above its spontaneous emission level. It performs bi-directional scanning up to 200 nm/s with typical wavelength repeatability of ±1.5 pm. This laser source offers a good balance of functional characteristics, performance and price, making it suitable for coherent transmission experiments and cost-effective component testing on the production line.
The 81608A tunable laser source is supported by the N7700A optical communications application software suite and, when used in conjunction with power meters and polarization instruments, can measure spectral characteristics such as insertion loss, polarization dependent loss and dispersion. They provide excellent scanning wavelength accuracy and dynamic range.
Also consider the new N7778C tunable laser source for a more compact model.
