Polarization Maintaining Fiber
A Polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) output is standard for Keysight
N7711/4A tunable laser system sources. PMF is aligned to maintain the
state of polarization. A well defined state of polarization helps ensure
constant measurement conditions. The fiber is of Panda type, with TE
mode in the slow axis in line with the connector key.

There are two BNC connectors on the rear panel of your instrument.
These are the Trigger Out and the Trigger In connectors.
The Trigger In is a TTL input. A maximum of 5 V can be applied as an external voltage
to this input connector.
The Trigger Output is the only output BNC connector. This is a TTL output. Do not
apply an external voltage to this connector.
