  • Page 18: Introduction And Specifications

    High output stability for all options is achieved by using ILX Lightwave’s proven laser diode current and temperature control technology. Each MPS−8033 comes with a standard GPIB interface and to close the loop with other lab measurement instruments, the instrument provides a TTL compatible trigger which is synchronized with the output of the internally modulated signal.

    1550nm and spread over a 40 nm spectral width. High output stability is achieved by using ILX Lightwave’s proven laser diode current and temperature control technology. Due to the nature of the light source, the output is intrinsically unpolarized. Select the MPS−8033/55 for 10 mW of broadband output power, or the MPS−8033/65 for 20 mW.
