FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - Tunable Lasers

WHAT IS A TUNABLE LASER?

A tunable laser is an instrument that emits light at various tunable wavelengths. This tunability allows it to adapt to different applications in fields like data center networking and optical testing.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN APPLICATIONS OF TUNABLE LASERS?

Tunable lasers are used in optical communication systems, fiber optic testing, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). Tunable lasers are used as signal sources when testing optical systems for making spectral measurements of passive components and light-detecting components.

HOW DOES TUNABILITY BENEFIT OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS?

In optical communication, tunable lasers enable dynamic wavelength assignment and reconfiguration of optical channels, sweeping the wavelength to emulate WDM operations. This flexibility is vital for optimizing network performance, increasing bandwidth, and reducing costs.

WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT SPECIFICATIONS FOR A TUNABLE LASER?

Important specifications to consider for when choosing a tunable laser include: wavelength, wavelength accuracy, optical power output, and sweep speeds.
