SANTEC-Tunable Laser( Model:TSL-710)

 Santec built the world’s first commercially available narrow linewidth tunable laser in 1987. Growing from that innovative start, we have developed a range of laser solutions for a wide variety of applications across many technical fields. Santec introduces the latest in their series of high performance tunable laser, the TSL-710. The TSL-710 is Santec’s flagship, highest performance tunable laser.

Overview

Combining high output power with high signal-to-noise ratio makes the TSL-710 an invaluable tool for optical testing. An innovative external cavity design has been implemented to lower the optical ASE noise, leading to a high signal-to-noise ratio of over 90dB/0.1nm, while still maintaining a high output power of over +10dBm. The TSL-710 is also equipped with features such as fine-tuning and coherence control. GPIB interface with the industry standard SCPI command set allow full remote control and measurement automation.

Features

• Wide Wavelength Range 1480-1640nm (SCL-Band)
