The Agilent 8168C is a tunable laser source and is a basic tool for characterizing and testing optical amplifiers and components. The Agilent 8168C operates in the 1550 nm window. A built-in side mode filter ensures that a a true single-mode laser line is generated for every wavelength point, eliminating any possible multimoding. The 8168C provides independent control of output power and wavelength. The user does not need to monitor values with additional instruments. Wavelength scans, which require an output power that is stable over time and flat across all wavelengths, can be performed reliable, accurately and quickly.
In manufacturing applications, the instruments can be integrated into a fully automated production-test environment for precise, repeatable high-speed testing. In a manual set-up, built-in application software supports single or dual-channel loss, return loss, and coupling ratio measurements of around 1300 nm or 1550 nm on pigtailed or connectorized devices, depending on the configuration selected.
