    What is a Tunable Laser Source? A Tunable Laser Source (TLS) is a laser source for which the wavelength can be varied through a specified range. The Keysight 81960A is a TLS with continuous-sweep measurement capabilities, where wavelength and power are regulated while the laser changes wavelength at a constant rate.
