Description
CX9812-O (1250 ~ 1350 nm) O-Band Tunable Lasers Source
CA9812 O Band (1263 ~ 1357 nm) Tunable Laser Source
Product Description
This specification describes and defines Advanced Lab Instruments CA9812 O band CW tunable lasers with applications to test and measurement equipment. It provides fast wavelength tuning, high power output, and high power stability. Advanced Lab Instruments tunable laser products support O-band, and other single-band operation. A full-band tunable laser is also available, covering 1263~1357 nm wavelength range, with seamless tuning.
The Advanced Lab Instruments O band tunable lasers are a new-generation high performance continuous wave (CW) tunable laser source for use in various single band or combined band windows, ranging from 1263 nm to 1357 nm. The innovative design employs the state-of-the-art tunable technology and gain continuation in wide wavelength range. With no moving parts, the voltage-controlled wavelength tuning enables rapid wavelength switching over the whole operating wavelength window.
System control and communication is provided though the RS232 interface, which allows users to dynamically set operating wavelength and power with ease. Wavelength stability is guaranteed by an internal wavelength reference. Long-term power stability is achieved through close-loop feedback control.

Notes:
- Wavelength is calibrated as “Peak wavelength”.
- TLS is operated at constant current mode and spectrum is not flattened.
- When measured after warm-up time, measurements over 1 hour at 25±1°C.
- ASE is measured at 0.1 nm bandwidth and ±1 nm away from center wavelength.
- For manual tuning mode only.
6) For continuous sweeping mode only.
