A Tunable Laser Source (TLS) is a laser source for which the wavelength
can be varied through a specified range. The Keysight Technologies range
of TLS modules also allow you to set the output power, and to choose
between continuous wave or modulated power.
The Keysight 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.
The Keysight 81940A, 44A, 49A, 80A & 89A Tunable Laser Source Familys
are front-loadable modules.
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.
