continuous-wave signal.
If you choose to output both wavelengths of the HP 81554SM Dual
Wavelength Laser Source and to modulate the optical output signal, the
two signals will be 180° out of phase with each other.

How to Modulate the Output Signal

This parameter sets the frequency of modulation for a laser source
module. The signal is internally modulated at this frequency if the
