Introduction
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 Agilent Technologies range of
TLS modules also allow you to set the output power, and to choose
between continuous wave or modulated power.
The Agilent Technologies range of compact TLS modules are flexible
stimulus modules suitable for applications such as the testing of optical
amplifiers, DWDM components, and complete DWDM systems.
Installation
The Agilent 81950A Compact TLS module is a front-loadable module.
For a description of how to install your module, refer to "How to Fit and
Remove Modules" in the Installation and Maintenance chapter of your
mainframe's User's Guide.
