Description
Overview
The Quantifi Photonics LASER-1052-1-FA-PXIE is a single-channel tunable laser source in PXIe format, part of the Laser 1000 Series. It delivers continuous wave output across the C-band (1527–1568 nm) with exceptional wavelength stability and precise control, making it ideal for telecommunications, coherent optical transceiver development, and optical component testing.
Key Features
- Full tunability across C-band (1527–1568 nm) for complete DWDM channel coverage
- 0.01 pm wavelength tuning resolution for precise control
- Narrow 100 kHz linewidth with output power up to 15 dBm
- Whisper Mode to temporarily disable frequency dither for the narrowest linewidth
- Polarization-maintaining output with FC/APC connector
- Fully programmable via SCPI with Python and LabVIEW drivers
- PXIe format for integration into automated test systems
Applications
- Coherent optical transceiver development and testing
- Optical component testing (splitters, couplers, modulators, resonators)
- Fiber optic transmission testing
- Local oscillator for coherent Tx and Rx transceivers
- WDM and DWDM channel loading and stress testing
- Silicon photonic wafer and waveguide testing
- EDFA optical amplifier testing
Specifications
| Full Tunability across C Band or L Band | Ideal for telecommunications applications; full coverage of DWDM channels. |
| Smarter Calibration for Enhanced Power Uniformity | Minimize inter-channel power variance with enhanced power uniformity between channels. |
| 0.01pm Tuning Resolution | Tune to anywhere within C or L band with a high 0.01pm tuning resolution. |
| Narrow 100kHz Linewidth, up to 16.5 dBm of Power | High stability 100kHz linewidth makes it an ideal candidate for some of the most demanding applications, such as coherently modulated high-speed communications. |
| Polarization Maintaining Output | The slow axis of polarization is aligned with the output connector key as per industry standards. The user may choose to use polarization maintaining (PM) fiber or standard singlemode fiber (SMF). |
| Powerful Software Controls | The Laser 1000 Series is fully programmable via industry standard SCPI protocols and drivers are available for Python and LabVIEW. It also comes with an easy-to-use GUI that can be used on any device with a modern web browser. |
| USB or Ethernet Operation | Connect via USB or Ethernet for simple setup and operation. |
| Excellent Measurement Correlation with our Optical PXI Modules | Shared product architecture lets you validate your system and test requirements in the lab with the benchtop version, and scale up to high-volume automated production testing with the Laser 1000 Series PXIe module. |
